Web 2.0 Social Bookmarking Presentation - Connecting the Dots II
We used Google Forms to survey the group ahead of time as a pre-assessment.
Narrator: "For every solution there must first be a problem to solve. LISTEN carefully to discover THE PROBLEM."
Silly movie showing three people with unsolved problems:
1. The first case has so many bookmarks she can't keep track of them. She would like a way to find them and keep them organized more easily.
2. The second case is a paranoid man who fears that others are able to access information he doesn't have. He would like to sharing to occur more easily.
3. The third case is a woman who has lost all her carefully organized bookmarks to a computer hard drive crash.
Narrator:
"So there seems to be a solution but clearly we don't know too much about it and from our little survey .... neither do you ........ Let's watch this little video to learn more."
Watch YouTube video on Social Bookmarking
YouTube - Social Bookmarking in Plain English
Narrator: The video mentions one site for social bookmarking - Delicious - Let me give you a quick overview ...
Watch a Jing demo of Delicious.com
Narrator: Another interesting award winning social bookmarking service is diigo.com. Diigo is interesting because you can highlight sections, create sticky notes and comments on the bookmarked web pages.
Here is a YouTube Video on Diigo
Watch a Jing demo of Diigo.com (note the producer discovered that a Jing cannot exceed 5 minutes so it ends abruptly.)
Narrator:
"So for the disorganized person, social bookmarking, helps them stay organized by housing them on a web site that is accessible from any web enabled device and with the use of tags, allows her to find the bookmarks easily.
For the paranoid person, social bookmarking, makes access to information and sharing possible."
For the depressed person who lost everything, social bookmarking, can help prevent against total loss since the bookmarks are stored on the web.
Sign up today and start organizing, tagging, sharing, comparing and discussing what's out on the web."
