15. Social Bookmarking
• del.icio.us founded by Joshua Schachter in 2003,
acquired by Yahoo in Dec, 2005
• Key features of this service:
• save bookmarks online
• add tags
• simple url structure to retrieve data via tags
• tags provide folksonomy over bookmarks
• many users allow searching links by popularity

16. Examples of del.icio.us url’s

67. “What I keep hearing is, how can we impact factorize open science.
Well, the answer is, you can't. Let's stop trying to find some magic
algorithm whereby a machine tells us what quality science is. What's
completely mad to me about this is that we already have processes to
assess science quality. Every time you review a new student, every
time you look at a grant proposal, heck, even on the infamous tenure
committees and research assessments, a group of humans looks at a
portfolio of existing or proposed work, and decides whether it is good
enough.
So if I may modestly propose, let's continue to do that, and no one other
than journal publishers should ever look at impact factor numbers
again. Arise, qualitative assessment, begone quantitative nonsense.”
- Richard Akerman

68. Citation Analysis?

69. People have personal search algorithms, some
good some bad
Social bookmarking sites are often write only
By making collections public and tagged you
provide a resource
For example I read what my boss is tagging
This is kind of an orthogonal use case for these
kinds of services, even before we add in more
complex algorithms

70. Collaboration
Serendipidous discovery
Storage
Manage (tagging)
Recommendations
(algorithmic)
Don’t want to give a false
positive
