... dogear. Del.icio.us for inside the firewall. It's a research prototype now available throughout IBM. David Millen demos it and shows that the suggested autocompletions for tags include the number of other people using that tag, a way of quickly driving a folksonomy [although it also encourages the downside of folksonomies: conformity]. Within IBM, there are almost 17,000 bookmarks (generated in 2-3 months), with only 10% of them private. The tags retain an association with the person who made them. It shows people who have the same tags as you, deriving a social network from a semantic one. You can import bookmarks from del.icio.us. There are group bookmarks as well, something del.icio.us is working on adding. At IBM someone did a Firefox extension so that searches in the Firefox search box first do a query against dogear bookmarks and then does the search on your choice of engines. As a result, you get the high-quality tag-based results first. [I'd like that plugin: Show me del.icio.us tags and then Google results.] [If del.icio.us were interested in the enterprise market, it should be worried about this not-yet-product.] [Note: AT IBM's request, I have corrected "DogEar" to "dogear."]

Legal essa sacada do David Weinberger... (há outras do mesmo lugar desta)... como essa aqui: In fact, what drove the Web from the first day was the ability of users to speak and connect.] We're now seeing the rise of collaborative knowledge, he says. KM was "incredibly boring." Now it's arising organically, he says.
