The creators are trying to break the stereotypes with online publication, they want to make information more useful and easy to gather within the world of scholarly essays.
What users would do is submit an article / essay they have written to Thought Mesh with up to two levels of headings. What Thought Mesh would then do is search essays and headings for the topic(s) of your choice. It would also give you a list of scholarly essays with that same information in them.
Thought Mesh is only on it's Beta version but if a user is unsure about how to publish or navigate a published article they offer step by step Quicktime videos to help you along the way.
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure about the purpose of this website is, but it sounds like and interesting idea to check out and further pursue.
I have enjoyed reading Vectors so far, it has opened my eyes about upcoming scholarly search engines like Think Mesh.

Only one article? Am I missing another response? be sure to check the instructions: you were asked to respond to 2. Again - alert me if I missed something here.
As for Thought Mesh: you say you are not sure about its function. Is that a fault of the platform? Does it feel vague, exclusive? Were the Quicktime videos of no help? Tell me why. Did you submit any words, names, ideas to the search to see what you could find? Were helpful links provided?
Thanks for providing the link but it'd be great to hear more of you here. These posts should not just be summary but should also be a platform for your reactions, analyses, commentary.
So next time 1) be sure to do the complete assignment and 2) feel free to expand your thinking, your reactions. (For instance: why did you select this article/project to respond to?)
