Anthologize: a new tool that compliments ODBS

(I found anthologize via this blog posts, which is an interesting read on participatory design in itself in the context of the user-experience design community: http://www.inherentvice.net/?p=234)

http://anthologize.org/about/

This service simplifies the publishing process, if you already maintain content in the form of a blog. I don't expect many community members to be active bloggers, but it creates a great combination of "content creation" and "content publication" as an online tool without getting bogged down by the difficulties of professional software that was part of the ODBS equipment.

Something to keep in mind...

Here is how that project has evolved since earlier this year... a great community to collaborate with for the purpose of the ODBS project.
