Cogenz

  • sadly not impressed with the demo video here: http://blog.cogenz.com/. this looks like a del.icio.us clone simply marketed for the enterprise. surely we can do better than this? a question i think would help: for those users who won't/don't adopt a system like this, why?

Looking for SF-Bay Area Diigo users!

  • As part of a user study, I am looking for people who use bookmarking services online (like Diigo!).

    We would like to ask you to complete a short survey. Although it is short, we greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into composing your responses!     - bmevans on 2007-08-02
  • As part of an extended user study, I am looking specifically for Diigo users! I am interested in how people organize and share information online and how does Diigo facilitate these activities. Diigo has many features other social bookmarking sites lack, so I need to find SF-Bay Area users who are willing to share their experiences with me (for compensation!). If you are interested in learning more, please email me: brynn.evans@parc.com. Or complete the survey on the website. Thanks! - bmevans on 2007-08-10

Social Bookmarking Explained (Video)

  • this is a short video explaining how to bookmark, tag, and share links with others in social bookmarking tools, such as del.icio.us. i am curious how much "sharing" actually takes place on del.icio.us, and what people's real motivations are for bookmarking URLs. - bmevans on 2007-08-09

Social search has a brand new contender - Diigo

  • Diigo promotes itself as an online social research and "social annotation" tool, allowing users to:

    "Collect, share and interact on online information from anywhere". By letting users quickly create their own comment on sites as well as highlight, clip or make sticky-notes for webpages, and providing access to organic search or their own social search results, which can be adjusted to suite the users preferences, Diigo has created a service with several interesting resource sharing and community promotion features.     - bmevans on 2007-08-01

Blue Dot is not just another social bookmarking system

  • The basic premise of the system is that users can tag items into their online archives and befriend other users to share access to part or all of their items saved. The real differentiation, however, is found in the feature set: access to items, images to add to bookmarks, comments from friends (only), flash widget, better search, and soon IM/chat. - bmevans on 2007-08-01

A cognitive analysis of tagging

  • The rapid growth of tagging(1)in the last year is testament to how easy and enjoyable people find the tagging process. The question is how to explain it at the cognitive level. In search for a cognitive explanation of tagging, I went back to my dusty cognitive psychology textbooks. This is what I learnt. - bmevans on 2007-07-31

InfoTangle :: The Hype and the Hullabaloo of Web 2.0 :: January :: 2006

  • The Web 2.0 mindset is about using the wisdom of crowds to develop better software, designing simple and straightforward applications efficiently in response to user inclination, and sharing that technology so that others can build upon it - bmevans on 2007-07-31

InfoTangle :: The Hive Mind: Folksonomies and User-Based Tagging :: December :: 2005

  • Today, users are adding metadata and using tags to organize their own digital collections, categorize the content of others and build bottom-up classification systems. The wisdom of crowds, the hive mind, and the collective intelligence are doing what heretofore only expert catalogers, information architects and website authors have done. They are categorizing and organizing the Internet and determining the user experience, and it’s working. No longer do the experts have the monopoly on this domain; in this new age users have been empowered to determine their own cataloging needs. Metadata is now in the realm of the Everyman. - bmevans on 2007-07-31

[cs/0508082] The Structure of Collaborative Tagging Systems

  • 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. - bmevans on 2007-07-31

ScienceDirect - Information & Management : The mediation of external variables in the technology acceptance model

  • AM specifies a pathway of technology acceptance, from external variables to beliefs, attitudes, and system usage. We tested one of its assumptions that the ‘perceived ease-of-use’ and ‘perceived usefulness’ constructs fully mediate the influence of external variables on usage behaviors. Using a survey of 125 employees of a U.S. Government agency we found, contrary to the normally accepted assumption, that external variables could have direct effects on usage behavior over and above their indirect effects. We also found that TAM is significantly and consistently better at predicting frequency than volume of usage. - bmevans on 2007-07-31

Exploring the Adoption, Utility, and Social Influences of Social Bookmarking in a Corporate Environment

  • This paper describes an ongoing technology investigation to assess the value and utility of social bookmarking on a corporate intranet. We hypothesize that social bookmarking would be useful in this environment for resource management, information sharing and discovery, expert finding, and social networking. We discuss features of the prototype system deployed and early analysis of findings on adoption, usage, and social influences. We conclude with our challenges and plans for future development and integration into the enterprise. - bmevans on 2007-07-31
