Call me crazy, but it seems that Social Bookmarking would have more uses for academia than blogging. I see hundreds of ideas for education and training. A class-accessible collection of resources about a given topic.
Right now, I work for emergency management. There is no single place, that I know of, where all the FEMA, OSHA, Federal, etc. documents are listed or accessible. It would be great to have a site that focuses on Emergency Management that had all the new and old relevant resources.
For education, the ideas are infinite. A social bookmarking site focused on interpretations of the balcony scene in R&J. This list would fill my blog a little much, so I think I'll leave it up to your imaginations to fill in the rest.
Anyway, I joined del.icio.us for social bookmarking. The username is chewie146, so feel free to take a look at my empty page. I haven't bookmarked anything yet, but I may today.

Hey Chewie --
ReplyDeleteWhy del.icio.us? Would you use that for your work? Take a look around on the web at some of the other services, to see how they compare. Then, can you put your del.icio.us link on your blog?
We used to share links a lot via web pages (school folks still do) -- so what would the advantage of a social bookmark service be?

Really, I would have to create an internal social bookmarking site through the web people here. It would be more useful if I could do it on the internal network and share internal links.
ReplyDeleteI have some ideas that might come to fruition if I'm lucky. That won't be for a while, though.
