  Mashable - Social Networking News 

  http://www.mashable.com/

  September 13, 2007 — 05:26 PM PDT — by Kristen Nicole — Share This — 1 Comment HyperiGo is a new bookmarking tool that saves an entire screenshot of your bookmarks, instead of just descriptive text. This ... is slightly similar to StumbleUpon , which also includes screenshots for its bookmarks. With this tool, there are some pre-formatted folders that you can add different bookmarks into. For instance, you can choose to place a bookmark in the News, Games or Music folders. There’s also the option of creating new folders, and all folders appear as tabs. In order to add a bookmark, you’ll need to click on the “add bookmark” link, which pulls up a window for you to insert the URL and the name of your bookmark. There are three different options for viewing your bookmarks: small thumbnails, large thumbnails, or text (I suggest you choose text). Bookmarks can be filtered by alphabetical order, most viewed, or last visited. You can also make your account public or private, so bookmarks can be ac   [More...] [Less...]

  Can social networking co-exist with the workplace? | Tech News on ZDNet 

  http://news.zdnet.com/2010-9588_22-6223458.html

  Tags: Eric J. Sinrod , Corporate & legal , Social Networking , Workplace , Employee , Network , Barracuda Networks , Internet , Productivity , Recruitment & Selection , Viruses And Worms , Human Resources ... , Workforce Management , Security With Facebook and MySpace.com participation growing by leaps and bounds, social-networking sites are making their way into the workplace too. Is that a good thing? Not necessarily if you ask the employers who regularly block employee access to such sites. Indeed, a recent analysis of data submitted by thousands of Barracuda Networks' Web Filter customers finds that about half the businesses using these filters are setting up blocks to MySpace, Facebook, and other such sites. Barracuda also reported that 21 percent of the businesses it surveyed actively monitor their employees' Internet activities. At first blush that may sound like a corporate version of Big Brother, but employers do have legitimate reasons to worry. Their chief concern is the potenti   [More...] [Less...]

  Social bookmarking - Wikipedia 

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_bookmarking

  [ edit ] Introduction On a social bookmarking system or network, users store lists of Internet resources that they find useful. These lists can be accessible to the public by users of a specific network ... or website. Other users with similar interests can view the links by topic, category, tags, or even randomly. Other than web page bookmarks, services specialized to a specific subject or format — feeds, books, videos, shopping items, map locations, wineries, etc. — can be found. [ edit ] History The concept of shared online bookmarks dates back to April 1996 with the launch of itList.com. Within the next three years online bookmark services became competitive, with venture-backed companies like Backflip , Blink, [ citation needed ] Clip2 , Hotlinks , Quiver , and others entering the market. Lacking viable models for making money, most of this early generation of social bookmarking companies failed as the dot-com bubble burst. In 2005 and 2006, social bookmarking sites, such as del.i   [More...] [Less...]

  Oracle Combines Social Networking and CRM 

  http://www.cmswire.com/cms/enterprise-20/oracle-combines-social-networking-and-crm-002433.php

  IBM is not the only ECM vendor looking to leverage social networking capabilities in their applications. Looks like Oracle is getting into the game as well. In this case, it’s a mix of CRM and social networking ... in an On Demand solution. Sounds a little like salesforce.com’s new Spring 08 release to me. Oracle believes they are on the leading edge of SaaS CRM solutions and they may well be. The amount of discussion happening around Enterprise 2.0 (or Web 2.0 in the enterprise) is dizzying and trying to filter out the fact of what’s truly possible from what’s visionary is difficult. Oracles CRM OnDemand 15 features social networking capabilities such as: Sticky Notes : Users can mark any object with a sticky note comment and subscribe to the message stream to follow that object. Sticky Note “conversations” can be exposed as a gadget or portlet in iGoogle or MyYahoo!. Message Center : This is functionality to co-ordinate all the activity around sticky notes and their resulting conversatio   [More...] [Less...]

  iMedia Connection: How hot products warmed up to social media 

  http://www.imediaconnection.com/content/17309.asp

  There are a lot of products and brands generating buzz for the holiday season. But this year, it's the way the buzz is being generated that's attracting considerable media and consumer scrutiny. Many of ... the year's hottest products and websites are employing new and creative social media tactics to reach and engage the buying public. In September 2007, my company, Oneupweb, took a look at 12 of the most talked about products and/or retailers for the upcoming holiday shopping season to see how each was, or was not, using social media to improve holiday sales. Besides identifying effective social media tactics, the study will serve as a benchmark for future examination of evolving trends and strategies. Findings Each of the "hot" products we profiled had creatively and extensively used social media, while not all of their competitors had followed suit. From blogs, podcasts, interactive video tours and consumer-generated content of all kinds to entire social networks and virtual worlds, th   [More...] [Less...]

  Google hits $219bn in success search | Technology | The Guardian 

  http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2007/nov/01/news.google

  Andrew Clark in New York The Guardian Thursday November 1 2007 Google, the world's most popular internet search engine, has joined the corporate super-league with a market value that ranks among America's ... top five companies. Ten years after its creation in a Stanford University dormitory, the Silicon Valley firm's capitalisation reached $219bn (£105bn) on Tuesday - overtaking healthcare titan Procter & Gamble to place it in fifth place on the US stockmarket. Only ExxonMobil, General Electric, Microsoft and the telecoms company AT&T are bigger than Google. Its shares powered past yet another milestone yesterday as they touched $700 for the first time, less than a month after reaching the $600 mark. By mid-morning in New York, they were up $5.27 to $700.04. Google's growth spurt has been driven by seemingly unstoppable profits: the company's recent third-quarter earnings showed a 46% leap in net income to $1.07bn. Experts cite its leadership in online maps, videos, news and finance, all   [More...] [Less...]

  The Social Bookmarking Faceoff 

  http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/social_bookmarking_faceoff.php

  Written by Alex Iskold and edited by Richard MacManus. The social bookmarking market is in a steady state with two dominant players - del.icio.us and StumbleUpon . The rest of the pack, including Yahoo ... MyWeb, appears to be substantially behind. Will they catch up? In this post we attempt to answer that question. We also take a look at how social bookmarking has evolved since del.icio.us. (even del.icio.us itself has evolved a lot!). We compare the features and approaches of the different companies, to see which has gained popularity and what has become the norm in this space. A short history of social bookmarking The current social web era started with del.icio.us and the advent of social bookmarking. The simple concept of a tag has turned our interactions with the web upside down. The idea of being able to store your bookmarks online, share them with everyone and see what others have bookmarked - triggered the sequence of events that resulted in today's rich and social web ecosyst   [More...] [Less...]

  Social Bookmarking Tools - A General Review 

  http://www.dlib.org/dlib/april05/hammond/04hammond.html

  Introduction Because, to paraphrase a pop music lyric from a certain rock and roll band of yesterday, " the Web is old, the Web is new, the Web is all, the Web is you ", it seems like we might have to ... face up to some of these stark realities [ n1 ]. With the introduction of new social software applications such as blogs, wikis, newsfeeds, social networks, and bookmarking tools (the subject of this paper), the claim that Shelley Powers makes in a Burningbird blog entry [ 1 ] seems apposite: " This is the user's web now, which means it's my web and I can make the rules. " Reinvention is revolution it brings us always back to beginnings. We are here going to remind you of hyperlinks in all their glory, sell you on the idea of bookmarking hyperlinks, point you at other folks who are doing the same, and tell you why this is a good thing. Just as long as those hyperlinks (or let's call them plain old links) are managed, tagged, commented upon, and published onto the Web, they represent a   [More...] [Less...]
