Bio-mass collaboration

Ben Good from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver has just been visiting our laboratories here in Manchester. Ben is doing some interesting web experiments in mass collaboration, inspired by the likes of BioMOBY and Connotea. If you have any time to spare, or are just curious, please join in and mass collaborate!
His (semantic) web experiment is based on iCAPTURE, which is “fast, cheap and out of control”, the latest version is iCAPTURER 2, we learn from you. In his spare time, Ben has also built a cloudsurfing interface to connotea, using the web API, which is interesting and fun to play with, if you have any of your references in Connotea.
