Justvote.org

This seminar will discuss how an innovative approach to collaborative knowledge sharing is being used with Justvote.org during the 2008 election to provide people with voter information and register to vote.

Successful knowledge sharing of content that is relevant to individuals and groups has become the dominating focus of discovery, search and collaboration on the Web. People seek innovative ways to collaboratively share, build and connect knowledge with others who share similar interests. Both individuals and organizations need collaborative knowledge sharing tools to discover, organize and sharing evolving concepts and ideas in a world with such rapid growth of information on the Web.

iLeonardo is social network for research. It's a social utility that connects people and their notebooks which are collections (individual or collaborative) of information from the Web. iLeonardo combines search methodologies, social bookmarks, a recommendation engine and social networks to produce relevant search results and ranking determined by people - not bots or publishers.
