Anyone seen WizFolio before? Thoughts? - http://acad.wizfolio.com/
Looks interesting; I'll sign up and look around in the next day or so. - Bill Hooker
I tired to invite you to see my library Bill but it said your email is invalid :) Do you want to try it in reverse. First thoughts: overall, looks cool, some nice integration with PubMed but no RSS, no obvious public face so limited in my view - Cameron Neylon
@Cam: just signed up, email is cwhookerATfastmailDOTfm - Bill Hooker
first impressions: interface not v intuitive, don't like being unable to resize split screen, does a good job with PubMed integration, social aspect minimal. Ads v intrusive, I won't be using it unless those go away. - Bill Hooker
alright, seems to have worked, over to you - Cameron Neylon
Thanks. The guy who runs the thing e-mailed me asking what I think, so I thought to ask you guys as well. I still did not have time to give it a test-run myself - perhaps tonight. - Bora Zivkovic
I need to start charging for this stuff - I get e-mails like that every day. - Bora Zivkovic
@Cam: just approved you; took me a while but the little picture at the bottom left (next to invite) brings up a list of colleagues. I can see you, and your pubs, but that's it. I don't seem to have options to change what you can see of mine, but I've not added anything but my own pubs so far anyway. Logging out now, cells need feeding. - Bill Hooker
It does have word integration available which is certainly one thing in its favour but as Bill says interface not immediately intuitive and some visual aspects slightly offputting. - Cameron Neylon
@Bora, as long as we get our cut :) - Cameron Neylon
Seems Bill can see me but I can't see him. Overall I would say its a good start but I would want to see bibtex in and out, good RSS feeds for integration with other services. Ideally pulling of RSS feeds in as well. Populating this looks like it could be a bit of a pain. You seem to be able to import RIS files but not much else. I can see that people might want just the app but for me the open and social aspects of citeulike win here. But then I'm possibly not the target market :) - Cameron Neylon
I registered, and sent an invite to Bill. It is very unintuitive at first sight. Perhaps it is good to test these sites when one is short on time - less likely to poke around and figure out non-intuitive things. On the other hand, I love Citeulike, so it is hard to make comparisons between the two, one of which is mature and other one brand new. - Bora Zivkovic
Interface could definitely do with a refresh, and it is slow, even for a web app. PubMed search integration is OK, but not very much to recommend it over Citeulike, Papers, et al. Also: Amazon ads? A bit of a short sell. - Matt Wood
@Bora: just "approved" you as a colleague -- can you see me? - Bill Hooker
Neil, we're jaded old internet men. I haven't even visited the Plurk or Ping.fm or Identi.ca websites - Deepak Singh
lol .. Presumably with an ICU. I'll need it - Deepak Singh
@Bill, I see you there. I am still trying to figure out how to import my publications - Bora Zivkovic
@Bora: if you're still trying, then it's too damn hard. It should be obvious at a glance. (I found out how by accident, just by searching on my name and randomly dragging stuff around.) - Bill Hooker
"dragging", that must be the key word - I should try dragging something around ;-) - Bora Zivkovic
Hi everyone. I'm from WizFolio and thank you for trying out our software. We have been looking at your feedback and we have made many changes to our interface. We have new features that we hope you can give us your feedback on: 1. After you collect your references, you can click on "Locate PDF" and WizFolio will search the publisher's site to find the PDf for you. If there are free PDFs, they will be automatically downloaded. - victor_lin
2. If you upload a PDF, WizFolio will automatically search for the corresponding bibliography from Pubmed. 3. You can use our WizAdd plug-in to grab references, patents and YouTube videos and even save copies of webpages (like Onfolio). Please give us your feedback so we can continue to provide innovative reference management tools! - victor_lin
Server is down? - Eric Jain
Hi Eric, could you please try accessing WizFolio again. Thank you. - victor_lin
