[TIPS] me.dium.com - a collaborative way to surf

Thanks to Marg Runkle for sharing this one with me via email.

Here's how it appears to work. You download a small app. Then you register and start to surf. If other me.dium users are also on the same site you'll see their little blue icons appearing in a bubble on the side. If a friend is there, too, you'll see their Yellow icon. You can then click to begin a chat with that person. Things are archived and.. Well.. check out the tutorial movie here: http://me.dium.com/tutorial

That reminds me of another site that did something very similar, but I can't recall now what it was. I don't think this will ever see the light of day in a school since it requires an install, but it sounds like it WOULD be a great tool to use with your fellow grad students, maybe.

Just another site that is doing its part to make the web a more collaborative place to be.
