Some Web 2.0 Examples:
Blogging and vlogging RSS feeds and
aggregators Podcasting Wikis VOIP - Skype Social Bookmarking –
favorites sharing Photoblogs - Flickr Folksonomy – “Tagging” …..new ones every
day!!
![Page 7: STETS Social Networking Workshop](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052503/5441b79bafaf9f5e208b47a0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Start with Social Bookmarking
Real power of Read/Write Web (Will Richardson) Store and share – collaborative process
10 billion pages of info on Web – or more?? Becomes more difficult to locate info More types of info available
Can retrieve favorites from any computer with Internet access
![Page 8: STETS Social Networking Workshop](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052503/5441b79bafaf9f5e208b47a0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Social Bookmarking Save favorites easily Share with others – either public or
private Share others’ bookmarks Locate by topic or user Access limitless number of links, videos
books, photos similar to your favorites
Can share sites, books, music, photos, movies – more!
![Page 9: STETS Social Networking Workshop](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052503/5441b79bafaf9f5e208b47a0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Bookmarking depends on Folksonomy
Otherwise know as “Tagging”New taxonomy – replace librarians??Better than indexing – users make
own tags – common languageFlexible and dynamic – not staticUsed with websites, documents,
photos, presentations, videos – anything searchable!
![Page 10: STETS Social Networking Workshop](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052503/5441b79bafaf9f5e208b47a0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Where do I find Social Bookmarks?
Furl.net Saves snapshot of
page Archives page! Can sort into topic
folders Locate other users
with common interests
Subscribe to other users’ Furl folder!
