I haven't tried that.

Tangential sequitur, but I keep wanting to find some easy way to extract all
the book titles I mention on my personal weblog, just to make a convenient
list to take along when I'm browsing for reading material at libraries...

[I have the bad habit (as far as booksellers are concerned) that I browse
for interesting books on the shelves, and then go home, look up reviews and
try to find them in libraries...]

Karen,
Have you checked out CiteULike? (http://www.citeulike.org/) It does allow
you to save and share citations, and apply tags. I've been toying around
with it as a way to collect the citations I mention in my blog, although I
haven't found a way to make it let me order the citations in multiple ways,
and there's no "profile" feature, which I think is important for social
networking-type tools

I would like to see a RefThing that allowed me to catalog and share
citations for the many articles I use for my work. RefWorks may be stuffy
and a bit stodgy when compared to LT, but it does *that.* On the other hand,
a single-format application still can be very popular: look at Flickr.
