Untitled Peer Response To "Thoughtmesh" By Jon Ippolito And Craig Dietrich, Kathleen Fitzpatrick

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

This article discusses the approach taken by ThoughtMesh, a dynamic and compelling mode of structuring and interlinking scholarly texts via shared tags. The combination of a simple user interface with a system of both automatically and manually generated tags that serve as links across all of the texts in the "mesh" results here in a compelling means of reorganizing scholarly publishing as a community-based, rather than individual, activity, one that recognizes the foundations of such publishing in open, mobile discourse.
