Strategy Development Primer.
In any on-line effort, there are essentially three things that you can do:
- provide information;
- look for information; and
- work together

Looking for Information
RSS Aggregators ("Really Simple Syndication")
Here's one decent
plain language explanation of RSS and why it's interesting.
See CBC's feeds page for an example.
I use an aggregator called Sage, but
there is an extensive
list of other options on Wikipedia
Table of Contents services
Oxford University Press' journals, for
one example
Working Together
Discussion lists
Apolnet
Click4HP
Yahoo Groups (free, but check privacy
policy)
Web Networks (pay)
Instant messaging
Trillian
Social bookmarks
del.icio.us
my del.icio.us bookmarks
