Added to my list of "stuff to try when I've got time". The point you make about the investment of time to try things out and the risk of getting "fragmented" with different tools to do similar things all over the place is a valid one. Not sure what can be done to overcome that. Sometimes I think it's better to settle for "not quite perfect at the moment but will do". Once you're using something (anything!) I think you start to realise what other features you'd want and would use, and then it's worth looking around a bit more. The feature sets on some of these web 2.0 applications often looks good and then you end up using only a fraction of it. Looks interesting. Added to my list of “stuff to try when I’ve got time”.
