zotero + Zotz: how to have your cake and eat it too in reference management

The current state of reference Management is as follows: you have great integration with word processors, but no sharing (endNote) OR great web 2.0 features but bad integration with word processors (CiteULike, Connotea). No current application seems to offer both. Zotero sits in the middle, but offering something different: collecting is easy, sharing is not. EndNote web seems just a castrated version of the desktop app.

However, Zotero is moving into the sharing/tagging space. It's clearly 'not there yet', but, if you want to publish and share items today, you might be interested in Zotz. It's another Firefox plugin that can generate shareable bibliographies. Here's a picture of the results:
