Social Bookmarking is a fairly new idea to many people. In fact, it is so easy to create a social bookmarking account. "Delicious" or "Library Thing" are popular to those who love to put a bookmark on their websites and share with their friends.
"Delicious" is a social bookmarking for websites. Some people find that it is difficult to use. At the beginning, I personally feel the same, but I take some time to figure it out. I look up some useful websites and blogs and see what people say about it and share their learning experience of social bookmarking. I find that it is more than fun. It leads you to the new world of knowledge and information. I find a useful podcast tutorial that explains how to use the social bookmarking service Delicious for learning http://www.ottergroup.com/learning2.0/?p=14.
"Library Thing" is to catergorise your favour books online. Apart from tagging your favour items, you organise your library thing home page and share your bookmarks with other people or vice versa. There are interesting video regarding Library Thing training. You will enjoy it!
So what are the similiar and difference between the 'Decilious" and "Library Thing"?
Similarity: both social bookmarking websites encourage user to read, organise and share thier bookmark online and create a virtual community to discuss and share their information. The user will be benefited because they can increase the volume of knowledge and bookmarks within a short period of time by seeing other's bookmarks.
Difference: "Decilious" links to websites which are useful for research; whereas "Library Thing" connects the users to share their personal books which is suitable for reader advisory.
How does the social bookmarking affect the future library science, in particular, tagging and cataloguing? The following videos provide us an insight for the future library.
