My group develops systems to help people manage information and share it with others. We study both text (online discussion tools) and structured data (information visualization and management applications). Our guiding principle is that humans are powerful and creative information managers, and that the key challenge is to build systems that can accurately store and present the sophisticated thinking that people apply to their information.

In this talk I'll take a rapid tour through several of our online discussion projects, emphasizing this common solution principle. I'll discuss NB (nb.mit.edu), an online-education tool for discussing course content in the margins, Murmur (murmur.csail.mit.edu), a system that modernizes the mailing list to address its drawbacks while preserving its great utility, Squadbox, a tool that scaffolds workflows to help protect targets of online harassment, and Wikum (wikum.csail.mit.edu), a system that bridges between discussion forums and wikis by helping forum participants work together to build a summary of a long discussion's main points and conclusions.
