Is so clean and user-friendly, that I'm surprised why more web searching services are not using that solution. Do you have any idea? I have found one nice tool www.GoogleItFaster.com .

Speaking as a current student, I haven't had much luck with citations from it except for ones I write out myself and keep in the "notes" area, which is still awfully helpful. It's also great to have something that lets you do highlighting on stored HTML pages The best thing about Zotero is that you can store your digital files in one easy-to-get-to place.

Unless i'm missing something (and I use Amazon for collection development purposes and for confirming the spellings of author's names, etc.)... I think it would be nice to be able to form groups around themes, authors, or professions, so that suggestions could be sent to the group, or between group members, etc. Great list - I wonder if Amazon could be considered fully “2.0″ at this point - there is user-generated content on the site, and Amazon does give suggestions based on prior searching, both of which are building blocks of the Web 2.0 movement, but there still appears to be very little peer-to-peer interaction, or online community, that we see in most other Web 2.0 tools out there.

I need it explained to me like I'm in kindergarten.

Chatango doesn't keep logs, so we depend on librarians reporting the use they get. I gave our Infodoodads crew only a very general figure for this article when they asked me, but have dug out more "precise" numbers since then (if anyone is interested). 400% or 4,000%, it is still a whole heck of a lot! "Traditional" IM (AIM/Yahoo/MSN that we do through Trillian) shows much lower use. This is probably because users have to have an account and log in. With a widget like Chatango you just type in the box in front of your face, no downloads or signing up. (Hey, no barriers!) The first month we added the Chatango widget to the web page (January), we had 26 Trillian users and 72 Chatango. In February it was 40 Trillian and 162 Chatango. By April, it was only 19 Trillian vs. 394 Chatango! Wow, indeed. Keeping stats on the use of a chat widget like Chatango is a tricky thing (I know, I’m the one who attempts to keep them at OSU).

Going up 400% would the your statistics quintupled. No mean feat, but the statistics I saw were something like from 14 to over 500 per month, 40 times the traffic. It is amazing what the difference between a link to a service and a widget can do, and what the difference between a widget and a widget on every page will do.

At this point, my school's Internet filter won't let me go beyond the basic level on WorldCat, but I've requested that it be opened for deeper level access. I'll be using most of the others from home, so I'm glad to have some new ideas. Thanks for putting this together! An excellent list–there are several I haven’t tried.

I'm in the middle of writing a post about this, but since we're a few years away from always being a live IP address wherever we go, Google Gears is an incredible bridge to get us to that point. If you work a lot on a laptop, this tool can be one of your best friends right now, and as laptop use continues to rise, I think GG may be on your list next year, especially if other sites continue to integrate it (the way <a href="http://rememberthemilk.com/" rel="nofollow">Remember the Milk</a> does).
