ebook's bookmarking

Basically thousands of websites are not worth of us to surf every single day, We simplify and narrow down the scope to navigate what we are interested in. Folksonomy, which basically imitated taxonomy in scientific ways, is generated by the person who intended to tag consuming information on URL. It is interesting about the definition of folksonomy. Wikipedia seems to have defined folksonomy as that the people (cool crowd) with Web 2.0 tagging tools are able to require as something that can describe their tool. Tags can be created by personal idea to make categories on their own and tool make possible to search the tag which may be created by special definition. That makes much easier for favorite Folksonomy fans to grab information/ objects in a short time. The value is knowing who and what specifically is being tagged by individual.

Social bookmarking is best used in a tool as del.iciu.us. As we take a glance of the tool, gladly, we saw related word have shown up when we typed a quite different word at all. For example, I put "webdesign", I not only found topics about webdesign, but also found what I am interested in another topics/key word like CSS, photoshop, and the tags contain really helpful website for what I want. Although, social bookmarking is done by personal preferences; without preferences we may never find exactly what we need for specific information. Gathing everyone's power is powerful; that is my thought. Social bookmarking perhaps can be views as peer review in the community of content as the best.

Simply, making tags for title is not hard; finding good reference is much more valuable when tags are related to. Community of social bookmarking is a general concepts of categorization on web resource. I tagged the sites as I demanded and as everyone demaneded if the "saved number" is considerable or I think they are valuable for using in the future.

It is not easy to say there is great benefit on using social bookmarking on del.icio.us. However, Internet is a tremedous resources which greatly combines every single person who made effort on the Internet. Students and Professionals would feel strongly while they are using social bookmarking as a tool. It is like Google search engine. They are similiar in dataming that specific topics will be marked as tags will be done in the same way.




This is Adam on del.icio.us

And this is your choice if you add me in your favor

Flash Fulfill our life


Within pace getting more convenient in web tools of design, more various, beautiful, amazing web pages show us spectatular scenes to entertain us our life, especially the web tool of Flash.Amazing website provided as SIRE, first scene in the first page heavily drew our attention, also the sound effects. When I logged in, I thought I was in a horrible movie introducing website, then I fianlly found out it is about society issues based on Netherland, very impressive. I mean Flash has improved much as I thought than before I have touched.


Let's talk about SIRE's color and sound design. Because it is a site about children issues in society problem,so the site need to create very gloomy and murky, and that will reflect how dark side of issues which let audience think it is very horrible issues happening in Netherlands. Sound effect is pretty much done in dreadful creation, probably nbrave audience will turn it off as soon as possible.But it is designed as that because of the same reason of above. We know creepy sounds may happen in horror movies, but now we see this website also has the same creepy as we see in movies, that may impress audience whom are brave that they did not close off the page as soon as possible. How much do audience join into the website? six or more clicks for every issue is done in this Flash. Every click will lead hazy text to clear text, that gave audience joyment of participation. This is actually a important role with Flash to let audience take participation. Flash will make vivid to webpage; others don't.Flash do moving effect; others can do but not impressive. That is why Flash is getting rage these days.


At last, I don't say any bad design of this site except creepy sound, because I did a experiment that I sent this site to my female friends. 8 of 10 chose to close it off when they hear the creepy sound, probably it is bad design to put the music on the first page. Maybe to put behind is better thought.

What is web 2.0?

Perhaps you have already heard of some characteristics of web 2.0, such as Blog, OpenAPIs, RSS. Do you think Flickr or Youtube these concepts websites can be represented Web 2.0? Actually, it’s NOT.

Let’s imagine how Web 2.0 consist of. The first part---RIA (Rich Internet Application), such as Flash, Ajax and etc. network application technologies are under RIA control in which can enhance users’ IE experience, easily operate from desktop interface to IE, just like, the most typical function---support drag in webpages.

Second, SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture), a structure which can provide open sources and communicate with different ISP’s network applications to coordinate in operation. To be a member of Web 2.0, such as Feeds, RSS, Web Services, Mash-up, actually Mash-up, we use it every day. For example, Yahoo or Google provides API interface function module, which can directly result in a serious of Yahoo Map or Google Earth, a third network service, being operated.

What is Web 2.0 doing now today is to build up people as Internet of the starting point. From knowledge point of view, Web 1.0 task was using human knowledge through the power of commerce that can be put on Internet. Web 2.0 task uses these knowledge through every user’s power of desire of seeking knowledge, to coordinate works, organize all the knowledge put together; during the processes, Web 2.0 still deepens knowledge continuously and creates new sparks of new ideas.

From technical view, Web 2.0 is more customized, more efficient at work, such as Ajax technology, Google Map/ Gamil can interact with each other during operating.
What I believe is Web 2.0 is a network provided from a core of human beings, and it provides more convenient net tools to users, stimulate to provide contents, result from the tracks which users had left organizing clues of exploring, providing related web services, creating brand new values and expectation, and that is the way of Web 2.0
