Barbara, Thank you for the overview. It was helpful in exploring the system. If I were to compare it to others, Squidoo comes to mind, out of all things. I am trying to decide what value does the system add to justify hosting information in it. For example, I like hosting my pictures on Flickr, compared to a random site, because of picture notes, pretty slide shows and other widgets I can embed, powerful managing tools and a robust community. I think of the process of aggregating pieces in some uniform format (like Flickr picture objects, or snx's RLOs), vs. the process of being able to mash together pieces from random sites, in random formats. It's a tough choice :-)
