Social bookmarking not just del.icio.us
Posted on September 29th, 2005 in Social Networks
So Sim’ researched del.icio.us and then blinklist.com found him. So people are already trying to improve and innovate social bookmarking. Sim’ will write about his experiences.
One other exciting side effect of blogs and tagging is that people with a product, service, technology, or idea can reach out to people interested in that space.
Tags can even be used by groups to bring stuff to the their attention. Pick a unique tag you all agree on and start using it with for:username tag. This tags for two is explained on the del.icio.us blog.

Further to yesterday’s post on del.icio.us David Muir pointed me to his excellent guide to del.icio.us. While it assumes your browser is Internet Explorer, it is the sort of guide I could give my mum, so I’ll forgive that. It’s a great introduction, explanation and exploration that answers the question, “why use del.icio.us?”
David is a lecturer in the Educational Computing division in the Jordanhill Campus of the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. So it’s good to see educators making these sorts of guides available.
