Tagging and Del.icio.us were the themes of Thing Eleven. I found Del.icio.us to be another great tool for research compiling and organizing. It was fun to pick a relatively new Microsoft product, TAFITI, (2007) and see how many people have pulled information off the web and put it into Del.icio.us. There were only 297 hits on it, so it must not be a topic that is widely known. The reason Tafiti came into mind was because it is also about the concept of gathering information into one place. It is worth checking out. Here's how it is described on its homepage:
Tafiti, which means "do research" in Swahili, is an experimental search front-end from Microsoft, designed to help people use the Web for research projects that span multiple search queries and sessions by helping visualize, store, and share research results. Tafiti uses both Microsoft Silverlight and Live Search to explore the intersection of richer experiences on the Web and the increasing specialization of search. Another good tool for gathering and organizing.
