Re: st: documentation Stata tips : any wrong with counting on googling?

[Stas Kolenikov <skolenik@gmail.com>]

You'd probably want to organize your tips using some sort of tag cloud
system. An example is bibliographic system CiteULike (e.g. my refs are
at http://www.citeulike.org/user/ctacmo). I don't really know if you
can find any software to organize it, but I am pretty sure you can
bookmark links to Statalist archive with tags using social bookmarking
website (of which I don't know any, but I often see links such as
"Post to to..." and a collection of 5 or so websites of this
functionality). If you feel that your collection has become difficult
to manage, you'd probably find yourself spending a day to reorganize
it, and most researchers will find it too taxing.
