In her report on Open science at webscale, I was interested to see Liz Lyon give the following list of tools used to share their work by researchers.

> Currently, researchers are using open science tools such as:
> 
> - Connotea for reference management
> - Mendeley (which applies LastFM principles associated with music selections to journal articles)
> - Friendfeed (for threaded discussion and aggregation)
> - Scivee and YouTube (for sharing experimental methodologies and protocols)
> - SciLink and Nature Networks (for social networking)
> - myExperiment (for sharing workflows)
> - eyeLIMS (an open source Laboratory Information Management System)
> - LabLit.com (about science/laboratory culture in the literature and media)
> - ConceptWeb (from WikiProfessional and includes WikiPeople and WikiProteins)
