Collaborating with Social Bookmarks
Sharing the wealth…
Why Do We Bookmark?
 Return to a resource later
 Identify best resources
 Share resources
with others
 Group like sites
for research
 Quick access to
frequently used sites

Old Method
 Computer-specific location
 Browser-specific location
 Binary nature leads to
duplications
• Folders, unfiled
 Email breaks URLs
 Annotation requires plug-in
or additional scripting
 Hard to determine relevance

Popular & Useful Bookmarking Sites


Delicious
Diigo
Heurist
Stumbleupon
Digg
For those of us over 40…
Delicious.com
Delicious.com
How do we get from here to there?
 Create a free Delicious.com account
 Export your bookmarks from each
browser and each computer
 Import your bookmarks into delicious.com
 Plan on spending some
time removing duplicates,
tagging
 Bookmarks are imported
as “uncategorized” so you
know what to work on
Your favorite color paint samples
Exporting Bookmarks
Each browser
has a method
for exporting
bookmarks.
The delicious
web site has
instructions for
each browser.
Exporting Bookmarks
Your bookmarks are
exported to an html
document in transition.
Importing
Bookmarks
Your bookmarks are
imported from the
html file into
your account.
Do this for each
browser’s set
of bookmarks.
(I had 900 URLs
from 5 computers
and 12 browsers.)
Private
VS Public
Bookmarks are imported
as private, so only you can
see them at first. You may
choose to make them
public if you like.
Here is an example of a private
view, and the same list as the
public sees it.
Networks
Private collaboration
between colleagues or
classrooms.
Filters by collection owners – social
groups with common interests.
May expose ideas to a greater audience.
Instructional Ideas
 Create a network within your discipline
 Tag resources for classes with unique
tags (course numbers, etc.)
 Use separate accounts for classes
 Tag case studies with unique tags
 Students can contribute to a class
resource list via networks
Tagging
 Crowdsourcing of terminology
 Common or unique tags
 Search and sort by tags
Folksonomy: “Non-hierarchical
ontology that is created as a
natural result of user-added
metadata or tagging.”
