Week 6: Tagging, Folksonomies & Technorati

In the Delicious bookmark search, I found out that there is a short video for Quick Tips on how to use Delicious on your iPhone.

"Huge thanks to Tom Merritt at CNET who created this video." I hope this is a useful tool for all of you current and future iPhone users!

The delicious bookmark web-site are useful. As a librarian, we may share the news or other things with other staff members. The following graphic cartoon is the one I find in the delicious bookmark web-site.

Then I explore the Technorati, the leading search tool and authority for blogs.

"Technorati is a real-time search engine that is the largest source of fresh information about the global and local conversations going on all across the Web. Technorati allows you to find out what people are saying about you, your company, your products, your competitors, your politics and, other areas of interest, on the Internet in real time. "

Week 5: Wikis

Wiki means quick in Hawaiian.

A wiki is a page or collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content (excluding blocked users), using a simplified markup language.Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. The collaborative encyclopedia Wikipedia is one of the best-known wikis.Wikis are used in business to provide intranet and knowledge management systems. Ward Cunningham, the developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly work".

"Wiki" is a Hawaiian word for "fast"."Wiki Wiki" is a reduplication. "Wiki" can be expanded as "What I Know Is", but this is a backronym.
