Berkeley could have "thousands" of people using it but only added a couple new users in the last 3 months while at Stanford the very first 15 people started using it just now... This chart mirrors the software. The idea has potential but was put together in a sloppy and amateur way. Science doesn't live well with these. I'd love to use a tool with Mendeley's functionality but I have to put up with way too many bugs and poor design decisions.
