Del.icio.us 101 | The Business Value
Maxwell Finn
- This site is quite a lot like Digg, but it seems to emphasize the community aspect of social media more than Digg does.
- The "network" feature of del.icio.us may well be its most useful tool. Users can identify other people whose content they respect and appreciate, thus becoming privy to the bookmarking actions of those users. It's also possible to view the people others have added, and those who have added them. Confused? All the network does is create a web of people who are linked to each other through common interests and mutual respect.
- You can save links to content in the same way as you do on Digg, thus giving the content a boost in the del.icio.us / popular rankings.
- Hopefully, those people whom you add to your network will browse your content also, and things that you bookmark will become more visible. You can start to develop a community of people who share your interests.
- This community is one of the main things you can get out of del.icio.us that differentiates it from similar sites.
