This week in Social Computing and Media we spoke about social bookmarking.
Social bookmarking:
·
Definition: Use of bookmarks, sometimes
accompanied by meta data descriptions, to represent organise, share,manage, and
search for resources/information online.
·
Metadata may include text, evaluation.
folksonomy of tags.
How social bookmarking works:
·
Using social bookmarking tools, individuals
select or bookmark online content.
·
Similar to bookmarking in your internet browser,
except that here the goal is to share conent.
·
Sharing can be entirely open to the general
public or restricted to particular individuals or groups.
·
Other users can add content.
The following video explains Social Bookmarking in more detail, and is quite interesting:
This weeks lab work
This week our lab was not face to face. We were given two tasks to complete on our own at home.
Our first task was that we had to set up a Diigo account.
"Diigo is a social bookmarking website which allows signed-up users to bookmark and tag web-pages. Additionally, it allows users to highlight any part of a webpage and attach sticky notes to specific highlights or to a whole page." - Source Wikipedia
Our task was simply to set up an account, add the Diigolet button to our browser and bookmark this page about the dark side to mashups. We then had to add an appropriate title, description and tags to the article. In my own time I had a quick look at other Diigo features such as searching, bibliography, sharing and screenshots.
