3” x 5” index cards have long been popular with researchers as a tool for collecting, then categorizing information by sorting the cards.

A useful online tool, WebSort.net, extends the capabilities of paper index cards by creating an online space to create and sort virtual “cards.”  With built-in collaboration features, one can easily solicit feedback from multiple stakeholders.
Some examples of how an organization might use WebSort:

• construct your website intuitively
• validate the structure of your organization
• get feedback on your organization’s Internet or intranet
• learn where to add new content to an existing website
• reassign tasks and roles within a team
• create actionable workflows for project management

Try it for yourself at http://www.websort.net. As long as you have 10 or less collaborators involved in a card sort using this site, there is no charge!
