I created a personal curation system - Hyperbook, http://getbook.co . It arose out of the need to store reference materials while writing my thesis. There seems to be lot of people working on similar ideas, which shows the market need and lack of existing products which address them. I sense there is a great startup/product coming in this space soon.
I used many bookmarking/note-taking/wiki software while writing my research thesis. Found limitations such as searching, linking notes and revisiting bookmarks. Currently it is used by many students, book authors and research scholars at top universities in India. . Maintained the site for two years without any revenue model. Want to maintain the free version for more years to come.
A personal knowledge base is far more valuable than what it might seem at first glance. Very happy to see you have articulated clearly and made people realize it. A PKB has great potential for knowledge transfer within organization or even at research labs for new people to familiarize with literature. Many people want to capture their thoughts for writing a book someday, but current tools aren't good enough for this. Sadly, a person's social graph is well captured today rather than their knowledge graph.
With these thoughts, I started implementing Hyperbook - www.getbook.co few months back. Currently it is in beta and really working hard to improve it every day. We got good feedback and reviews from thought leaders in content curation and knowledge management industry. Thanks for bringing the problem for discussion. It gives me motivation that is very much a worthy problem to solve.
