means to share knowledge and find internal expertise—in other words to
facilitate knowledge management in an organization.
public social bookmarking sites could also be suitable for enterprise
use—IF—they offered a “groups” function
four most important criteria for a social bookmarking sites’ applicability to
internal/enterprise searching:
1. Group function capability. How easy
is it to create a new group? Can the group remain private? Other group
features?

2. Research value. How much of a page
can be saved; are there advanced and precision search features?

3. Design/Interface/Ease of Use. Is it
a pleasant experience to view and use the site? Does it show evidence of being
intelligently thought out and designed?

4. Fully Featured. In the Knowledge
Management supplement, I focused on these features:
- Ability to create an RSS Feed
- Surfacing of “related tags”
- Surfacing of “related users”
- Tag suggestions
- Tag cloud
- Import/export bookmarks
- Ability to crate larger “topics” or hierarchical categories

From an enterprise use standpoint, BlueDot makes it possible to set up
private groups by inviting “friends”, so you can form your own team or
workgroup.
economies of scale going for it
One of the best features it offers for researchers is that the fullsite is
keyword searchable, including the description, notes, and tags, using advanced
search features.
creating groups is not an elegant process
Diigo is by far the most fully featured social bookmarking site in this list,
The most notable feature is that users can highlight text right on the page, as
well as make annotations via a “sticky note” for later viewing.
Note that when you place a “sticky note” to comment on a page for your later
viewing, that note is viewable by anyone else in the Diigo community that views
that page too! .
. For instance, when highlighting a word on any page with Diigo’s bookmarking
tool, a drop down menu automatically appears that allows users to search for
that highlighted
option to forward the page to another person as well.
its “Groups” function
allow anyone to set up a private environment for sharing your bookmarks.
Furl offers a capability that’s extremely valuable for researchers that no other
site here offers: the ability to save and archive not just a URL or snippet, but
the entire page.
Not only can you save all those Web pages into your personal archive, but you
can then perform advanced searching of their fulltext so that when you are
trying to find a page on the Web, but only remember a small part of it, you can
search the fulltext to find it.
On the downside, you do need to put up with some text based ads, and there is no
feature for saving multiple pages all at once on a site if you want to save a
full article
though the biggest drawback with Furl is that it does not have a specific group
creation feature
