Notes on slide 1

Social bookmarking - allows users to share with others, or between computers, or on their websites without knowing how to program or build websites.

Yahoo purchased in 2005 - their robust “always on” system guarantees some redundancy in the services

186 bookmarks saved per minute

Perfect for libraries: quick, easy, robust, content rich - as good as you make it -- all about organization and details -- which you’re good at by nature

Different views: all, popular, recent, just mine, sortable, tags, top tags, date, more or less information

Tags are keywords - you control - best to set up ahead of time - dynamic

Bundles are groups of tags - ie. sdva bundle may include graphic design, photography, fine arts OR graphic design bundle may include graphics, photoshop, web design, etc.

Search can be micro or macro - search within your own, or search only your network, or search the entire database

networks allow you to communicate with other users (perfect for work groups) internally or externally - share with other campuses, libraries, institutions, faculty, students, or subject matter experts in the field - you share with them, they share with you

great for researching subjects - ie subscribe to photoshop tag to learn what’s new and interesting in the field. Stay current. Downfall is SO much content coming in for some areas (computers especially) not as much for others (logistics for example). Only as good as the users.

make up tags as you go for sharing - have a common prefix and work from there

bookmarklets sit in your browser and rather than linking to a page have a behavior. In this case, select text on page you want to bookmark, hit bookmarklet, and save to delicious automatically.

IE and firefox have plugins built to extend your workflow outside the delicious website. Save bookmark, search, tags, popularity, etc.

Explain RSS

Automatic display by tag, all, or bundle on websites or in feeds
