Grazr has always been a great way to organise and present information. Now, with release 2.0, it has moved into the collaboration space and, it has to be said, made building and sharing information models a whole lot easier.

Grazr offers a free hosted service, which means you will need to consider what kind of information you're going to put out there. But it is well worth experimenting with, if only to experience a snappy new way of gathering, organising and sharing information.

You can pop any web content or RSS feed straight into a kind of outline - that's links to web pages or specific images or sections of text. You just drag and drop between two concurrently open browser windows. It's a fast way to grab research material on the fly. You can, of course, add in your own text as well. And navigating the results is fast and easy.

(Perhaps I should mention that I publish a program which does something very similar but nowhere near as elegantly so, I promise you, this is good stuff.)

Your saved model shows up as a widget which you can drop into web pages, blog posts, wikis or share as a web link through email or whatever.

Take a look at this Camtasia demo of Grazr 2.0 in action. I found the voice grating and the subject matter boring, but the content is good and it is a quick way to see the potential of this new version of Grazr.
