Information Scent is King: Long Tails & Web 2.0

  • From Pete Pirolli's blog following his Information Foraging workshop at CHI '07. This post is about long tail (everything) distributions, using Amazon and Netflix as examples of how companies who can cater to the long-tail of user preferences can out-compete the brick and mortar companies who are limited in shelf space. - bmevans on 2007-08-30

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 :: Information Design for the New Web :: April :: 2007

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