Friends/
Earlier today I queried A Rep from RefWorks who visited a
few a weeks
ago about a possible Facebook App
for RW:
"I am writing to request that you give serious
consideration to
incorporating a Share function in RefWorks
As I mentioned during your presentation, there are many
e-publications
that offer a 'Share' functionality. For example, the New
York Times
offers a 'Share' to 'Facebook' (among other sites). As I
envision it,
the Share function would also a Facebook member with
legitimate use to
RefWorks could 'Share' his/her-her/his RW file to his/her
Facebook (as
opposed to exporting or saving) ...
This takes Us to Part Two Of My Recommendation(s)
In addition, I also recommend that you create a Facebook App
that
allows uses to access/use the full RefWorks functionality
within
Facebook.
For information about Facebook Apps See: Facebook Expands

NOTE: One Needs To Be A Facebook Member
Information for Facebook developers is also available [

/developers.facebook.com/get_started.php ]"
IN ADDITION TO BIBLIOGRAPHIC SOFTWARE ...
It occurred to me that a Share function and Facebook for
Databases |
Full-text | Etc. (e.g., digital collections, datasets,
images) would be
A Great Benefit to the Facebook user.
Sooooooo. ListenUp Vendors ... Make It So [
