ABSTRACT
Peoplicious is a collaborative research tool. Unlike systems such as del.icio.us, people are first-class data objects, along with documents. Users can create people, provide structured information about people (image, homepage, blog feed, delicious name, etc.), and create lists of people (people-tagging). Users can also bookmark documents and associate documents with people (personmarks). Any user can enter information about any person.
Peoplicious is where del.icio.us meets RSS reader all within a modern day address book. There is a working prototype that can be accessed at: http://peoplicious.com/Technorati/lists. It is designed so that new sites can easily be created for particular domains (e.g., see http://peoplicious.com/USF/lists). The system currently has one power user.
