Ethan Siegal sent me this link and I've been using Trapit for a few days now. It has a few quirks (clicking the 'x' removes the article, not the Trapit frame the way other link sites function) but the interface is elegant and it seems to be finding me resources I mind not otherwise see. This introductory blog bost introduces Trapit as an educational tool, describing a scenario where a speaker in a debate is supported by a panel of researchers using Trapit to dig up relevant facts and information. The post concludes with links to a series of resources for teachers. I'm still not sure what the business model is, but it's an interesting concept, very well executed.
