This article looks at the evolving crop of social bookmarking tools, their functionality and examples of use. The goal is to help nonprofits understand the value of using social bookmarking tools and to determine which social bookmarking tool would be serve their needs. This is directed at nonprofit uses of these tools.
Die Zeit der Kopfjäger
Von Christian Stöcker
Das soziale Internet, von dem die Netzgemeinde im Augenblick schwärmt, lebt von den Investitionen seiner Nutzer. Der Kampf der Profis, die Geld verdienen wollen, um die besten Köpfe hat jedoch bereits begonnen. Das Netz der zweiten Generation verliert seine Unschuld.
H2O playlists are more than just a cool, sleek technology -- they represent a new way of thinking about education online. An H2O Playlist is a series of links to books, articles, and other materials that collectively explore an idea or set the stage for a course, discussion, or current event.
A problem in getting people in corporate silos to communicate is that they do not speak the same language even when they are talking about the same thing. Mapped folksonomy can bridge the language gap. The trick is to have people participating in the folksonomy label a good number of the same underlying things so you can see how the labels correlate across participants.
Collaborative Tagging as a Knowledge Organisation and Resource Discovery Tool
Macgregor, George and McCulloch, Emma (2006) Collaborative Tagging as a Knowledge Organisation and Resource Discovery Tool.
I'm a student or researcher and looking for bibliographic software that...
can manage all my bibliographic data allowing me to search through them with an accuracy and speed that cannot be duplicated with index cards.
enables me to store unlimited quotes, paraphrases and thoughts and to efficiently cross-reference them in a searchable database.
is free, stable and open source allowing me to cast off the shackles of commercial, licensed software.
supports non-English multi-byte character sets.
runs on all major operating systems (*NIX, OsX, Windows).
runs not only on a desktop computer but also on a web server so I can access my bibliography from any networked point or share my bibliography with my research team.
allows multiple attachments for each bibliographic resource.
can export my bibliography in various bibliographic styles (APA, Chicago, IEEE for example).
allows me to edit or create bibliographic styles through a graphical interface.
integrates a WYSIWYG word processor with easy importation of quotes etc. so that at long last I can write an article, from draft through to publication with automatic citation formatting, entirely within the one software.
at the click of a mouse button will reformat my article to another citation style whether that style uses footnotes, endnotes or in-text citation.
WIKINDX is all this and more.
Modern facet analytical theory contrasts with earlier views of knowledge as an integral whole (which is broken down into smaller and smaller units) in that it deals with individual terms or concepts which are clustered into categories to create a 'bottom-up' map of knowledge.
Collaborative tagging describes the process by which many users add metadata in the form of keywords to shared content. Recently, collaborative tagging has grown in popularity on the web, on sites that allow users to tag bookmarks, photographs and other content. In this paper we analyze the structure of collaborative tagging systems as well as their dynamical aspects. Specifically, we discovered regularities in user activity, tag frequencies, kinds of tags used, bursts of popularity in bookmarking and a remarkable stability in the relative proportions of tags within a given url. We also present a dynamical model of collaborative tagging that predicts these stable patterns and relates them to imitation and shared knowledge.
In case you couldn't (or wouldn't *lazy*), we are here to provide the masses (but mostly ourselves) a place to catalog our media collection, whether it be books, DVDs, CDs...
And we're more than just that. We're providing a place for the packrats to commune and orate.
TagCloud is an automated Folksonomy tool. Essentially, TagCloud searches any number of RSS feeds you specify, extracts keywords from the content and lists them according to prevalence within the RSS feeds. Clicking on the tag's link will display a list of all the article abstracts associated with that keyword.
I am obviously a sucka for lists, there's one with 400+ links. I am doing everything humanly possible to try, review (reviews are on the way) and categorize the gazillion startups and old hags alike. I have updated the so called complete list with some cool thumbs (check it out).
