 "Zotero is the most useful tool ever created. I am not exaggerating."

+"I was definitely impressed with the layout and usability of the configuration options. Very well thought out and intuitive." [[http://www.dcs-media.com/technology/fireday/fireday-firefox-extension-reviews-for-october-26-2007.aspx|Jonathan Danylko]] of DCS Media
+"It is a polished piece of work, another instance of quality programming in the free -- libre -- open-source software arena....This is going to save a lot of people a lot of time."

+"What could be hotter than Johnny Depp, you ask? The answer is: the sexiest, awesomest citation manager ever.... It not only solves the problem of having to switch between Word, a reference manager, and your browser, and cut-and-paste and retype things manually, and it lets you keep track of lots and lots of information and organize it in ways that let you make better use of it. In short, leaps and bounds better than anything that existed before. Big step forward in helping us do better research, and helping humanity, and all that warm fuzzy stuff that I sincerely believe in, and the kind of thing that I want to (after I’m finally out of school) help make happen."

 "Zotero is making me super happy this week. It's a plugin for Firefox that acts as a super-awesome research assistant, sort of like del.cio.us on crack. Rumor has it that once you're done researching, it can even build you a bibliography, which is freaking awesome. Highly recommended."
