I asked students to make two lists, one a list of questions about "self," the other a list of questions about the "world." Then they were to come up with a tag or keyword for each of these 20 questions. These keywords were then spell-checked before they were added to each of the student's profiles in an elgg. They were to put their keywords in the "Interests" box. If anybody matches their interests, this causes that word to become hyperlinked to that other user. Finally students started to write a post answering one of their questions.
