We presented Phylo at 2007 North American Computers and Philosophy (NA-CAP) Conference (http://na-cap.osi.luc.edu/) earlier today. Our talk was focused on Phylo as a Web 2.0 tool that allows users to update information a fast, distributed way—much unlike several existing research tools that require centralized updates from a handful of administrators.

To set the stage, we talked about a number of existing uses of Web 2.0 in philosophy, including conferences, publications, and research tools. Since there was a lot of interest in these links, I’ve pasted them below.

We got a number of good suggestions at the conference, including several contacts at other projects that should be especially helpful in the future.
