There's some buzz about a website cataloguing "idea generation techniques"- systems for getting creative. Like 390 other idea-hungry people today, I've been intrigued by the site and bookmarked it. Now I'm curious to discover more about the subject. A single click later, I find myselfwith a whole array of obscure but specialised websites about idea generation, brainstorming, creative thinking, productivity. How did I do this? Google?No way. It wouldn't have been creative or productive enough. I've used a "social bookmarking" website called del.icio.us.

Del.icio.us (http://del.icio.us) and anotherwebsite called Wists (www.wists.com) are at the forefront of what theclickerati are already calling Web2.0, a democratisation of the internet driven by a blogging technology that allows us all to not only read what's online, but also edit, interact with and add to it.
