Collaborative Asynchronous Searching

I recently mentioned SearchTeam.  I see it has now been looked at and reviewed in detail in Information Today,  Note in particular the description of the Semantic Topic network, a novel and powerful capability.

Rather than requiring that the entire team (or group of collaborators) be online at the same time, SearchTeam is asynchronous, letting each team member save results, annotate them, and even upload files to share with others. As described in the SearchTeam FAQ, searchers can create a SearchSpace for gathering and organizing search results for each topic. “You can find and save only what you want while you are searching and throw away what you don't want or find irrelevant. You can automatically organize what you save, into folders of your choosing.” ... "
