Chih-Hsiung Tu's List: Delicious Pub

• Introduction

  • testing message to see what happened when I used converter to conver PDF to HTML with the software and use Diigo to annotate.
• "Social tagging" empowers members of social communities to name and

   

  describe objects using colloquial terms.
• clamored
• moniker
• Howard Rheingold muses in his Smart Mobs blog:

   

  "Del.icio.us addicts like me recognize the utility of the `social bookmarking' service as a

   

  kind of recommendation engine -- we learn, through inspection of tags over time, who tends to

   

  find the kind of sites that interest us." (2005)

  • Very interesting quote! I could use this one for wiki strategies.
• Tagging is the process of assigning meaning to an object via tags. Tags are keywords or

   

  attributes that describe an object, or certain aspects of that object, from the perspective of the

   

  individual.

  • Good explinations.
• Social tagging aggregates the individual's tags for an object and compares them

   

  with the community's tags for the same object to create what Thomas Vander Wal (2005) refers

   

  to as "folkonomies," or socially-constructed taxonomies within Internet communities.

  • Very good descriptions.
• To illustrate the idea of folksonomies, imagine that User 2 tags www.apple.com with

   

  keywords "education, software, laptop." The community between User 1 and User 2 begins to

   

  build a folksonomy around the www.apple.com website that conveys its socially-constructed

   

  meaning. User 3, who searches for keyword "apple" on the same site learns that the community

   

  considers the term "apple" technology-related rather than a crunchy snack. By clicking on

   

  another computer-related site, User 3 takes advantage of a key affordance mentioned often in the

   

  social tagging literature: community generated recommendations

  • Learners attach meanings to the bookmark. Good term: Community generated recommendations.
• "Tagging' gives Web a human meaning,
• In "7 things you should know about social

   

  bookmarking," (Educause, 2005) the author cites the affordance of social tagging is in its ability

   

  to form dynamic communities around similar interests.
• Members return to social tagging

   

  communities often to gain new perspectives, effectively enhancing a site's "stickiness."
