Del.icio.us overhaul to delicious.com

Sun, 09 Sep 2007 08:16:17 GMT

clipped by: juliapatriciaroy
clipper's remarks: I use del.icio.us to bookmark all the great stuff I find online. The fact that the service is being overhauled is good to hear; not because I I ever have trouble with the service, I am perfectly content with the way it is now, but I love new features and capabilities.

I will miss having to describe to people its not delicious it's del dot icio dot us, and getthing that quizzical look and repeating it again.

Clip Source: www.techcrunch.com

Social bookmarking site Delicious launched a limited, invite-only preview of version 2.0 of the service this afternoon. The new site can be accessed at preview.delicious.com, although only invited users can actually get in.

The Delicious service (no longer “del.icio.us” and now residing at delicious.com) boasts 3 million registered users and 100 million unique URLs bookmarked.

The preview shows a substantially different interface than the current Del.icio.us site, and a number of new features.

They have also added bulk tag editing (very much needed), and organization and sorting of your network of friends and people you watch.

clipper's remarks: I'm in love. Oh yes, with a search engine, but not just any search engine. This search engine will sign me up for 22 different search engine feeds (listed below) in one click. All I had to do is enter my search term, import the .opml file into my FeedDemon and snap, signed-up to receive updates on my selected keywords from 22 different search engines, wow that was easy.

I dont know about anyone else reading but I have been spending endless amounts of times signing up for keyword searches on various search engines like feedster, ice rocket, google blog search, etc. I would always dread having to do this task. But now, new client... new project... no problem

Del.icio.us PR

Thu, 12 Jul 2007 07:08:13 GMT

clipped by: juliapatriciaroy
clipper's remarks: I am in the process of convincing my fellow co-workers to try out del.icio.us as a way to track their own research and compile news hits and webpages that discuss our clients. I have found in principle they think it is great idea and they see the value in it, but in practice they stick with saving bookmarks in their browser. Another barrier to entry... the concept and practice of tagging information. I've began to conduct weekly all staff training sessions on social media and del.icio.us is a tool I am determined they will learn and use.

Clip Source: prsanantonio.blogspot.com

One thing is to come up with a special tag for a particular topic, and then you and others can start building a set of bookmarks related to your topic.

For example, the folks who have been coming up with the social media release formats are using the tag: hRelease.

You also can set up an account for a client or your organization and tag related items. For example, let’s say you are about to have some major announcement to media. You could create a “purpose-built” Delicious page that already has a set of bookmarks for web pages and related news stories on your topic.

By creating a Delicious account for such a topic and tagging new items regularly to keep it updated, you are helping journalists in their research, but the information can seem more credible because it’s not always created by you.

you can use Delicious to help you keep track of trends in your industry

Buzzvote: Polling widgets for your blog

Mon, 21 May 2007 18:06:13 GMT

clipped by: juliapatriciaroy
clipper's remarks: Does anyone else know of any better free polling widgets?!

Clip Source: www.webware.com

Buzzvote is a free polling service that lets users create and share their own polls. Once made, users can share their polls through a variety of social bookmarking sites like Del.icio.us, Digg and Furl. You can also embed the poll in any Web page or blog. There are other services that do this, including BlogPoll and Pollpub, but Buzzvote has a really simple and easy-to-use interface.

Update: After actually putting this into a blog post, it's clear there's a flaw in Buzzvote's execution of embedding these polls, as they're nothing more than a giant picture link. Disappointing.

Diggnation is Old Media

clipper's remarks: I agree, although I do enjoy the Diggnation podcast

Clip Source: www.micropersuasion.com

Digg is New Media, Diggnation is Old Media

In an interview with AdAge Kevin Rose and Jay Adelson riff on digg and their successful podcast, Diggnation. What's struck me is that while digg is a novel form of media where the wisdom of crowds prevails, the latter is, well old media.

According to Kevin Rose and Jay Adelson, Diggnation gets 250,000 to 350,000 unique viewers for each week. They say viewers, but to me this means downloads since it's very difficult to track eyeballs on a mobile device. Further, the entire Revision3 network, according to the duo, does 1.5 to 2 million downloads a month.

The article also touches on the fine line Diggnation walks when it comes to the ever eroding church/state line between editorial and advertising in a world where the entrepreneur wears both hats.

Del.icio.us Tips

Del.icio.us is the most popular bookmarking service on the web. By getting on the Del.icio.us popular or hotlist page you could get thousands of visitors coming to your website within minutes. Here are some ways that I have found that can help your content get on these pages.

VMIX: Better Video-Sharing Site!?

Sat, 06 Jan 2007 19:08:43 GMT

clipped by: juliapatriciaroy

Clip Source: mashable.com

YouTube may have won the video-sharing crown, but that hasn’t stopped the money from flowing into the video space. vMix, which launched way back in October 2005, has received a second round of funding, according to reports today. The undisclosed amount comes from Mission Ventures and Enterprise Partners Venture Capital. They get 1.3 million unique visitors per month, they say, and have partnerships with the likes of Fox Home Entertainment, Sony Pictures, Warner Bros and Bravo TV.

It’s fairly standard attempt, with profile pages, messaging, networks of friends, a Flash player, commenting, tags, ratings and the ability to post videos to Facebook, del.icio.us and Digg. They do, however, have a few unique ideas: the Talking Heads feature lets you put your own mouth behind a celebrity image, while there’s also a slideshow tool called VMix Slide and a number of contests (for more video contests, see Bix.com, DareJunkies and Jumpcut). Another unique feature: a “guide” button that overlays related videos in the Flash window, along with descriptions.

Even so, the video sharing market just seems to be packed with undifferentiated sites, and both Revver and Guba have experienced executive shakeups over the past few weeks. Like MySpace, YouTube is experiencing network effects: it now has all the content and all the users, and there’s little reason to go elsewhere. Unless a new site can bring a unique angle, exclusive content or target a particular niche, they won;t be able to get traction.

Deli.cio.us to Custom Search Engine

Vik Singh, an ex-Google (part-time) employee, created a tool that turns your Del.icio.us bookmarks into a Google Custom Search Engine. Vik describes the technical details and general background of this project. Caveat: you need to provide your Del.icio.us password.

Previous articles on Google’s Custom Search Engine service include the initial CSE review as well as advanced CSE tips.

2007 Predictions by blogger Steve Mermelstein of Usrbingeek

Thu, 04 Jan 2007 00:35:52 GMT

clipped by: juliapatriciaroy

Clip Source: www.usrbingeek.com

Goodbye 2006, Hello 2007!

This will be brief...

Predictions:

Digg will falter.
TiVo will be purchased by Google, Yahoo, or Apple.
Google will purchase a company that will surprise everyone.
Nikon will introduce a replacement for the D2X/D2Xs; 16MP or higher. They'll wisely stick with the DX sized sensor. D200s late in the year.
The Sopranos final season will suck
Windows Vista will widely be regarded as a failure; record number will switch to Apple.

Resolutions:

Donate all my PCs to charity and replace them with new Macs.
NEVER use Windows Vista.
Finally settle on a name and finish/open my photography web site.
Get BriskWhisk.com open.
Procrastinate less.

What are your predictions and resolutions?

Social media in the classroom

The Promise of Social Networks

Derek E Baird

One of the main pitfalls of introducing new technology into the classroom (online or otherwise) is the risk of having the technology frustrate the user to the point that it distracts them from their original learning goal. Flickr is important because its ease-of-use allows the student to keep his/her focus on acquiring new skills, building on existing knowledge while at the same time developing writing, software, and strengthening social ties within their learning circle.

While not originally developed as an education tool, Flickr, and other social networking technologies have the ability to play an important part in student motivation, retention and learning—especially in distributed learning environments. Social networking technologies and media are important tools because of their ability to foster interaction and communication between students. This is especially important in online learning communities, where students may have limited face-to-face time to build a support network with their peers.

Summary

Today’s students have grown up surrounded by the digital world, and as a result they have developed new ways of understanding, learning and processing information. As new types of social media are developed, teachers will need to find new and innovative ways to harness the power of these technologies to enhance their curriculum, and support differing learning styles. Flickr holds great potential as part of a multi-faceted approach that blends learning theory and social technologies in the curriculum.

To be sure, Flickr and other social media can’t, and shouldn’t, replace face-to-face communication between teachers and students; rather it should be used as one of many digital building blocks that, when skillfully integrated into the curriculum has the potential to open lines of dialogue, communication, and learning.

Social bookmarking sites help with company communications

clipper's remarks: Great way to describe how social bookmarking sites can help with company communications

Clip Source: www.lifehacker.com

Social bookmarks - Wists / del.icio.us

When folks who work on Lifehacker or any of our sibling sites happen upon links of interest to the whole company, they bookmark 'em with a predetermined unique tag using social bookmarking services Wists or del.icio.us. Everyone else subscribes to that unique tag's feed to peruse at their leisure. Much like a low-overhead internal weblog, a unique tag feed of company bookmarks is a great way to keep up without the interruption of an IM or email.
