I selected Trailfire since I've been collecting artsy websites forEVER and this promised to be something that I could finally call "home" for my collection. It's going to take some time to get them switched over and I'm running up against the deadline of getting all 23Things completed, so the organizational side of this will be put on hold for a bit. HOWEVER, Trailfire is installed, alive, and thriving with three new sites that I discovered in exploring its potential and I'm thankful (again) to the 23Things coordinators for placing it in my path.
I think that Trailfire is something that my students, especially my independent study students, can use to document their online searches for their assorted areas of interest - and share their trails with me as they go - and I think that this is a very practical, useful tool that most teachers would find helpful to create for themselves, for their students, and by their students for a zillion educationally-sound reasons. I plan on sharing this concept with my fellow-teachers at the next in-service meeting.

I think TrailFire is a great tool too. I've used it to organize presentations that include visits to many web sites. I love your idea of having students create their own trails and sharing them.
