...because we've all — at one time or another — tripped over our own tongues trying to explain what a wiki was to someone who had never heard of one before. Now you can just show them this video. I know this will be embedded on my online comp course's homepage this fall. Link.

This is the most exciting citation generator I've played with in a while. I've been using sites like Easybib.com for years, but BibMe, which was developed this spring by Information Systems students at Carnegie Mellon University seems simpler to use and more extensive in its scope than most other tools around. It automatically generates MLA-formatted citations to your computer in .rtf format (indentation and everything!). Alternatively, you can also export to APA and Chicago styles.

Just go play with it. It seems pretty fantastic.

It also comes with some other potentially neat features.From TechCrunch:
