"We're happy to announce that a new EPUB export feature has been enabled on English Wikipedia. You can use it to collate your personal collection of Wikipedia articles and generate free ebooks.

"One of my favourite apps to sit down with and learn is Qwiki. Qwiki must have millions of 'articles' that are actually interactive videos.

"The end result is a number of Apps that allow you to collect, curate, make connections and then share sites, blogs, articles or websites around similar ideas or concepts. One of these is Pearltrees.

In a way it is similar to the way that an App like Wikinodes deals with searches in Wikipedia."

App that displays what's important and interesting around you.
