What is perhaps interesting is that the service providers (IT/Library) in universities may not be recommending 3rd party services such as Furl - but of course, this doesn't stop the academics and students using them extensively. Perhaps we focus too much on what we can support and rely on, and not enough on encouraging innovative use of online technology? This is a good point.

It's particularly useful for tracking resources for a research project, sharing those resources with colleagues using a shared topic/tag, and the ability to export a citation list in an academic format. Every week I hear about another course or researcher using Furl.net in this way. So maybe Furl could be the scholarly equivalent of Furl?
