Social bookmarking brings to the equation something that search engines can't compete with - the human touch.

The Wisdom of Crowds - Folksonomy vs Taxonomy
-
Social bookmarking is all about labeling the web, making it easier to find the content that you're looking for by passing on what you've found. The labels applied to web sites are commonly known as tags, and over time a kind of taxonomy grows, whereby persistent tags help information to be aggregated and mined for information. Where a taxonomy was, however, the product of specialists carefully categorizing items within their area of specialism, social bookmarking produces instead what has been termed a folksonomy.

Social bookmarking has been one of Web 2.0's success stories, tapping into the social dimension of the evolving internet, the power of online collaboration and the wisdom of crowds.

Search engines, however, are not always the best of even the most efficient way of finding great online content.

Social bookmarking is all about labeling the web, making it easier to find the content that you're looking for by passing on what you've found.
-
A simple but powerful form of online collaboration, folksonomies supply information from the bottom up.
-
- del.icio.us has the kind of popularity that other social bookmarking sites dream of, which makes it a vast resource with an almost infinite amount of tagged pages to access
- It's much imitated browser embedded button makes tagging sites a very quick and painless exercise. Tagging a page is as simple as clicking a button.
- Being able to set up RSS feeds for any tag makes the aggregation of social bookmarks very easy
What sets it apart:
-
- Stumble Upon brings an exciting element of the (seemingly) random to your browsing experience, but retains all of the features of a traditional del.icio.us style social bookmarking service
- The Stumble Upon toolbar is really extensive, allowing you to find and rate bookmarks in a number of different ways without having to go to the Stumble Upon homepage
- Stumble Upon learns and adapts to your tastes over time, bringing you fresh recommendations you are more likely to be interested in without having to search for yourself
What sets it apart:
-
- Blue Dot makes social bookmarking personal, making it a great tool for online collaboration, where a team might want to share private thoughts with one another about web content, rather than with the whole world
- The ability to capture images from the site which serve as a thumbnail for your bookmark entry adds a visual dimension to the bookmarking experience
- Bookmarks can be shared with single individuals, groups and sub-groups, or the whole world, which offers a granular dimension to networked sharing.
What sets it apart:
-
- Ma.gnolia is perhaps the most attractively designed of the social bookmarking services
- It's emphasis on group formation and community based on interests will make it an appealing bookmarking option for those seeking to personalize the experience of bookmark trading, where many other services work on an anonymous basis
- The ability to add quick, off-the-cuff star ratings of websites is a nice way of quickly categorizing content in a universally understandable way
What sets it apart:
-
- Digg's focus on voting for submitted bookmarks brings a democratic process to the filtering of information
- It's emphasis on up-to-the-minute stories makes it a great place to submit and access news items and information 'hot off the press'
- Like del.icio.us the sheer size of Digg's user base makes it a valuable source of information
What sets it apart:
-
- Simpy's emphasis on being able to search within bookmarked pages text (rather than just metadata) make it a great tool for those engaged in research, whether professional or personal
- It's browser based tool set is extensive and offers a lot more options than some of the other services, especially in terms of being able to run searches on the fly
- Simpy offers a range of great web widgets aimed directly at bloggers, giving them the chance to place an attractive search box for their Simpy bookmarks (or for all Simpy bookmarks) along with other useful tools for social bookmarking bloggers.
What sets it apart:
-
- The BlogSync interface makes integration with blogs easy
- It is possible to export and back up your bookmarks and sync with del.icio.us
- BlogSync otherwise offers a fairly standard set of features that do it little favours in a crowded and competitive marketplace
What sets it apart:
-
- Reddit's combination of Digg's democratic, vote-based system and Stumble Upon's personalized, taste-based system makes for a refreshing hybrid
- Reddit features a NSFW (not safe for work) adult section of its service, which will appeal to some as another filter on the nature of the content they are searching for
- Reddit operates a karma system that places emphasis on community involvement, so will appeal to those drawn to the social dimension of social bookmarking
What sets it apart:
-
- Furl's archiving of web pages, along with searchable notes makes for an interesting and well thought through approach that makes going back to that elusive page you visited earlier that day quick and easy
- Furl features an extensive range of import and export features for your bookmarks, so that browser based bookmarks can be brought in and out, as can del.icio.us, and academic citations can be exported, as well as XML and even zip files of bookmark collections
- Furl allows you to take clippings of a page when you save it, which can be used as a summary of the page for quick recognition of what the bookmark is at a later date
What sets it apart:
-
- Blinklist's targeting of teachers and educators makes it an obvious choice for this group
- The ability to make useful Blinklists could prove useful in this sector, and for anyone else that wants to systematically group web pages according to a particular scheme
- The ability to set up BlinkSpaces for classroom use will make it an appealing prospect for those working in large groups or with classes of students
What sets it apart:
-
- Spurl's advanced 'spurl bar' browser plug-in will run on almost any browser
- The Spurl Bar offers an extensive feature set suited to advanced social bookmarkers
- Spurl archives your bookmarked pages for later viewing
What sets it apart:
-
- Primarily the main appeal of de.lirio.us is the fact that is open source and available for installation on private servers or networks
- It's very simple interface and feature set may appeal to those uninterested in the latest gimmicks
- It's almost complete lack of attention to interface design may appeal to those who... don't like good interface design
What sets it apart:
-
- The ability to set up media links within bookmarks is a nice feature
- JavaScript syndication makes it very easy to get your bookmarks onto your website with a minimum of fuss
- Linkroll's basis in blogging will appeal to some
What sets it apart:
-
- Without a doubt Shadows most interesting feature is that of the shadow page - a collection of metadata and users thoughts on comments on any given page on the web
- Shadows is otherwise well presented and has all of the features you would expect from a top-drawer social bookmarking site
- Shadow communities quickly form around web sites of niche content, via the shadow pages, bringing a strong element of online collaboration and group discussion to the service
What sets it apart:
-
- Yahoo MyWeb will appeal to those who already subscribe to other Yahoo services, as they can login using their existing Yahoo account
- As such, the service is well integrated with Yahoo's other services, such as their Toolbar and avatars.
- MyWeb also makes it very easy to find and connect with people through their choice of tags, foregrounding the social networking element of social bookmarking

Social bookmarking continues to be one of the driving forces of this evolving web, and as we forge ahead towards the semantic web (otherwise dubbed Web 3.0) it will continue to play an important role and prove an invaluable resource for independent publishers, businesses and even casual web surfers.
Social bookmarking is all about labeling the web, making it easier to find the content that you're looking for by passing on what you've found. The labels applied to web sites are commonly known as tags, and over time a kind of taxonomy grows, whereby persistent tags help information to be aggregated and mined for information. Where a taxonomy was, however, the product of specialists carefully categorizing items within their area of specialism, social bookmarking produces instead what has been termed a folksonomy.

The web is vast. Far too vast for anyone to have a hope of negotiating by themselves. When you start to look for information online, very often the first place you turn to are the search engines to bring home web pages that will fit what you're looking for.
Search engines, however, are not always the best of even the most efficient way of finding great online content. Anyone that has ever waded through page after page of Google results hoping that they have hit on that elusive keyword can vouch for that.
Social bookmarking brings to the equation something that search engines can't compete with - the human touch. Just as the internet has millions of pages, so it also has millions of users, and if even a fraction of those users share the sites they've found interesting, useful or just plain bizarre with each other, there is suddenly a vast resource for anyone searching the web to tap into.

le social bookmarking. Dommage qu'il n'aborde pas Diigo qui est assez sympa aussi et qui permet de faire pas mal de choses. Mais j'en reparlerai.
