    Background- history of social bookmarking as of 2005 (!)

    w090826

    • This paper reviews some current initiatives, as of early 2005, in providing
      public link management applications on the Web – utilities that are often
      referred to under the general moniker of 'social bookmarking tools'. There are a
      couple of things going on here: 1) server-side software aimed specifically at
      managing links with, crucially, a strong, social networking flavour, and 2) an
      unabashedly open and unstructured approach to tagging, or user classification,
      of those links.

    • By contrast, the new link managers tend to use dynamic categorization systems whereby the user annotates links with whatever terms seem most relevant. Links are generally annotated with 'tags', which are free-form labels assigned by the user and not drawn from any controlled vocabulary. This is very much a 'bottom-up' (or personal) approach compared with the traditional 'top-down' (or organizational) structured means of classification.

    • Because, while bookmarks allowed users to record sites of interest, they soon
      grew to become unwieldy in terms of needing to be managed within the confines of
      a simple, hierarchical structure. It became apparent with the growing power of
      the new search engines that it was easier just to search for a particular site
      afresh each time – in effect, search engines were now able to provide a dynamic
      bookmarking service, or bookmarks on demand.
    • These would become the social link managers, with links not randomly discovered
      or crawled by robots and spiders, but registered, tagged and rated by users for
      their own benefit, and made available to other users [n9].
      Robot wisdom was increasingly being challenged by the 'buzz latency' [11] that such a shared personal recommendation system creates.

    • There is a range from a 'selfish' tagging discipline, where the users are primarily tagging their own content for their own retrieval purposes, right through to a more 'altruistic' tagging discipline, where the user is tagging others' content for yet others to retrieve.

    • We note there have been some attempts to introduce structure within tags. Some users have adopted private conventions to indicate hierarchy (or other structural relationships) within an otherwise flat namespace, but these indications are just intended for personal use and cannot as yet be leveraged to any common advantage. Another approach that has been discussed (and, in the case of del.icio.us even implemented as 'tag bundles') is the tagging of tags, which could result in the creation of hierarchical folksonomies. This is an area that is worth tracking – there are no rules as yet.




      Anecdotal evidence (see Jon Udell's screencast on del.icio.us [23]) supports the view that there is a natural tendency towards the convergence of tags. Strategies to facilitate this development are also possible. In a blog entry entitled 'Folksonomies: How we can improve the tags' [24], Lars Pind has suggested various possibilities including the following: a) 'suggest tags for me', b) 'find synonyms automatically', c) 'help me use the same tags others use', d) 'infer hierarchy from the tags', and e) 'make it easy to adjust tags on old content'. Currently only option e) appears to be in common use, presumably because it is the easiest to implement.
