I'm definitely looking forward to more screen scraping though, and more export options. One thing that might make bibsonomy attract more users fast is if they added something like the <a href="http://www.ottobib.com/" rel="nofollow">ottobib</a> export options; if you can convince a first-year student that this site will give you a quick and simple reference list for pasting into your Word document, in APA style and everything, then you've got it sold.

I tried Zotero, but since I use Opera and not Firefox it seemed rather pointless (also, I hate having slow extensions running constantly, when I only use them for five minutes at a time — maybe Zotero’s better suited for site-specific browsers).

Regarding copyright; I’m pretty sure that the pdf’s you upload can only be read by you, so it’s basically like having it on your private email account / drive.

I will only point you to some new stuff which is related to the comments. First we started with the development of screen scrapers. Currently we support ACM, CiteSeer, http://arxiv.org/, and the library of the University of Karlsruhe. We will add more supported sites in the future. We are now working on a new/extented version of the system which will include a rest api. Via this api the JabRef tool will be connected. A prototype of the api and JabRef is up but I can not tell you any date when we can release it. Any feedback is very welcome.

I have an account. We use it for some professional stuff in Nepomuk (managing Bibtex in a group). For bookmarks, its also nice. You would install semantic mediawiki on this server at dowhatimean.net or on your desktop? (if its desktop, I know this system that...) Gunnar is using Bibsonomy. I have an account.

However, it is often a bit strange loading all my papers on their server - are there any copyright problems when submitting IEEE papers or something similar? On the other hand, it's great to have everything available on the web- I used to work with JabRef using a custom export, grouping and my own webserver - now it is much more convenient.

You may also be interrested by http://www.citeulike.org which does the same. A feature i like and that i think bibsonomy miss is the possibility to post a copy of the pdf/ps to the site, so you can access it from everywhere.
