I have setup a user profile at Connotea http://www.connotea.org/user/cameronstewart which required email verification to do so. It has a bookmark tool bar (I think these are called bookmarklets) which I have downloaded.
I really like how when people start sharing things, it gives us more information http://www.gurulib.com/johnct. Whether or not we choose to use it is another question. My feeling is that it would take a while to set one of these up. I would want to be able to export it. I am hoping that when we cover XML, this might be the format that allows you to convert between these services. A lot of these products seem to be competing amongst each other.

Faviki -> offers a solution to a problem that I had been having, and that is having to think of tags. From the website:
Faviki uses Common tags - unique, well-defined concepts from Wikipedia that allow you to state what a web page is exactly about, letting your computer understand you better.
I have joined, but not sure how much time I will have in the short term to participate with this tool. Here is my account http://www.faviki.com/person/cameronstewart/friends/show/ I have added my web2adventure twitter account to this service. It prompts for:
which is a good idea :)
Other Things:
The service that the State Library of Victoria recommends is Zotero, which was not on this original list.
The other thing this weeks class talks about is Library based services. I am doing another assignment on Library Mashups so have started playing with them there. I thought some of the book nuts in class would be all over Librarything, Goodreads, Shelfari etc. Which one do you think is best?
Update from tute week 6, some of these bibilographic tools work well with tools like Google Scholar. Might be worth revisiting in later study.
