I will get this started in more depth and extent soon... The goal is to create a toolkit and discussion space for poets / (un)creative writers in general to cyber- themselves. More simply, we have plenty of digital poets or e-lit people, but the point here is to make it easy for other poets to make use of new media and digital means.
Here's a first thought: iGoogle. There's much to be said about Google and I'll offer more soon - there's a tremendous range of possibilities here, especially as Google is now offering comprehensive hosting, online document tools, desktop tools, etc.
But a making your own iGoogle gadget is quick way to create and distribute writing. Basically, you can post or distribute a link to this, and friends or others would put the gadget on their homepage (or even desktop if they're using Google desktop). There are a number of gadgets to choose from, but the one I think is most interesting for the computerpoet is the "Daily Me." It provides a kind of format for channeling text and image. Now, it takes about 10 days after it's created for it to be available to everyone in the Google Gadget directory, but you can send invitations to people right away. Try it out.
