The successful experience of the Del.icio.us of the convergent and fascinating eye

as the largest bookmark site on the web, the rapid rise of Del.icio.us and the rapid spread of the internet have marked the revival of social software (social software) on the web. Like Flickr, Del.icio.us are tag-type sites, and the role of labels is to allow people to annotate an item, such as adding words and phrases. In the case of Del.icio.us, the annotated entry is replaced with a bookmark.

Del.icio.us. On the network to expose the foot, most benefit from its own tag cumulative function. This feature increases as the number of users increases. The large Collaborative Framework Protocol (folksonomy), which is formed, is called the "Classification classification", which is used to update the original network navigation mode. When used, users can label their favorites (tag), and then navigate through the interface that contains the label keyword. This allows the use of specialized entry classification techniques (taxonomy). In addition, if Del.icio.us. Information aggregation for all of its users ' bookmarks, so that users can provide a convenient and easy access to the classification and labelling services for each user on the basis of user size and label content.

one of the main challenges of the current web design is how to implement the user language, which is similar to the audience classification and the appearance of the label service, user customization, and can be further supplemented and developed. But most technology enthusiasts, including the author, ignore the reasons why Del.icio.us is popular. For the moment, I call this a "Del.icio.us success experience". In a November journal last year, I explored this reason. Since then, the log has become the most frequently cited log on the Bokardo, and today this log continues to explore the Del.icio.us success model, demonstrating the reasons for its success.

when personal value transcends social network value

one of the successful experiences of Del.icio.us is to transfer the emphasis of social network value to the individual. That is, if each of us is to establish the value of social networks, then each person in the social network must first find their own personal value, then it is possible to improve the value of the entire social network to make their own contribution. Taking Del.icio.us as an example, the most important thing for users is to find their own value in the process of saving the bookmark, while the other methods are used in the second place.

as the number of Del.icio.us users increases, people will get more of their own value. Use a variety of tag features to better find the bookmarks you need later. But the label is not the only major feature of Del.icio.us three. The various label operations on the Del.icio.us web are secondary, and the user only finds their personal value in this way.

The social value of the label on the Del.icio.us is also not major. Although there is a lot of talk about the social value of Del.icio.us, it is not a popular reason for users.

Google provides information aggregation capabilities to allow users to jump between different pages, and Google's information aggregation similar to the Del.icio.us also adopted the information aggregation function, so as to understand the user's value of the tag content assessment. For example, if 1000 people save and label the same bookmark. It is certain that these users have found the value implied in the tag. But to think differently, people make different labels, which makes the information aggregated and creates an enabling atmosphere for the user, in which everyone does not have possession of the information.

The aggregation gradually wants the fascinating eye

for most software developers, the huge capacity of information aggregation technology seems to be a fixed pattern for software to succeed. In the newly developed software, the label function is a necessary part. Recently, many software developers have received letters from software developers who are trying to publicize the benefits of the new software they have developed. The software itself has a user tag function, giving people the feeling that the user's favorite tag function seems to be the logical thing. But in reality people just label themselves in their own preferences. If the label itself is ambiguous, the user is definitely not going to use it.

Information Aggregation is the 2nd major feature in software. If we develop the software only to achieve more information aggregation, and not first to provide users with tangible value. Then the user will not use the software developed. My personal view is that the feature of information aggregation technology (aggregation technologies) can be added by users to the various network activities they have already engaged in without any commitment to benefit from any aggregation technology.

Del.icio.us. The difference between the label function and the META tag keyword

shortly after Yahoo's acquisition of Flickr, Denniso Livin of search Engine Watch, an engine-watching organization, raised questions about the labeling function. He compares tags with the "meta-tag keywords" (Meta Keywords) techniques commonly used in search engines. The conclusion is that the META tags in the network performance is far from satisfactory, in search test mainstream search engines are not recognized. Danny's point is right: the META tag keyword tag feature is obsolete.

Del.icio.us. The successful experience mode makes its label function different from the META tag. In any case, meta keyword tags do not provide personal value. It's just a search engine that aggregates the results and then delivers the information to the user, in other words, meta tag keywords just to attract the attention of the user. and Del.icio.us. The label is different. Each time a user requests a bookmark, it is provided to the other person to bookmark the user for personal value.
