Useful Tech Tools
Insert name and tool
- Marcus: dopplr.com - Colin has unlimited invites.
- Marcus: linkedin.com
- Ismael: BibCiter, the one I'm using on my site (that one goes for Marcus ;)
- DaithÃ: Yep - which a few of you have asked me about, as i'm always playing with it. It's neither 'Web 2.0" nor very collaborative, though.
- Peter: HyperPo Text Analysis Tool -- [www.tapor.ca] or [1] -- TAPoR: Text Analysis Tool Portal. There are many tools here, but I find HyperPo to be the most useful, and I will give a brief demonstration of its power for quick and easy text analysis.
- Fred: I'll show off OpenID
- Ralph: I can show wexlist and vizhall
- Colin:
- Pipes Interactive data aggregator and manipulator that lets you mashup your favorite online data sources
- Webdash "personal web assistant" that enables you to securely bookmark, organize, annotate, and email any page on the web right from your browser
- Many Eyes Tool for data visualization and sharing
- Visible Path An interesting and perhaps more automated way of using your network - a la linkedin
Comments:
- Marcus: I would love to see a demo of del.icio.us and a tool that allows you to collaboratively share academic references
- Lorraine: I've heard CiteULike and also Connotea are pretty nice, though haven't used either yet.
- Ismael: I've tested both and while they do quite well for sharing, they're quite poor to manage your own references and bibliographies (specially Connotea, that I actually would not call a bibliographic manager at all)
- Lorraine: It sounds like BibCiter is standalone, whereas CiteULike and Connotea expect you're interfacing with other bibliographers like EndNote.
- Ismael: Exactly. It just shares through RSS feeds and BibTeX exports. Can't you publish openly with Endnote, can you?
- Lorraine: I do think EndNote allows you to publish your reference sets. The power and attractiveness of the other tools, though is that references can be *created* and *snagged* via web, and then imported into EndNote, thus eliminating manual entry (for those cites you're not importing via library systems). So these are viewed as supplements to EndNote, not replacements.
- Marcus: I would love to see a demo of del.icio.us and a tool that allows you to collaboratively share academic references
- Marcus: One of my students recommended ma.gnolia.com. Does anyone have any experience with this tool?
- Marcus: Colleague at MIT recommended pownce.com. Have signed up, but would love to hear an example where this tool has come in handy or taken off.
