How many bookmarking & sharing sites?
Current List of Bookmarking/Sharing Sites
I am wondering how many bookmarking and sharing sites there are these days? Do they work in the work place in some way that would be ueful? There seems to be an explosion of these social tagging bookmarking sites, and they are growing daily.
More importantly, I’d like to know just how many do you actually need to use? How many??? Really, many can one logically use and keep up with? below is a list to scan through to broaden your reach, and broaden your horizons.
Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to organize, store, manage and search for bookmarks of resources online. Unlike file sharing, the resources themselves aren’t shared, merely bookmarks that reference them. Descriptions may be added to these bookmarks in the form of metadata, so users may understand the content of the resource without first needing to download it for themselves. Such descriptions may be free text comments, votes in favour of or against its quality, or tags that collectively or collaboratively become a folksonomy. Folksonomy is also called social tagging, “the process by which many users add metadata in the form of keywords to shared content”.
One that has my attention is Knowledge Plaza which launched in 2009. Knowledge Plaza, also referred to as KP, is an Enterprise 2.0 and knowledge management tool which provides a balance between social bookmarking, document management, wikis and an internal social network. It was initially designed as an information management tool for knowledge workers and is often used for collaborative research projects, market intelligence, information brokerage, etc. Knowledge Plaza is used as the reference tool for the “Social KM” as part of their Enterprise Social Software landscape in USEO’s analysis of the market. Their analysis concludes that Knowledge Plaza strikes a balance between a traditional Document management system and more community-orientated environments such as Jive SBS. This sort of thing would be great, if it was used for non-profits who wanted to collaborate together in pulling best practices, materials, and resources.
Below is a list of the social bookmarking and sharing sites that I know about. Do you know of others? Let me know and I will add it to the list.

Hi Alice,
Thanks for picking up on Knowledge Plaza – and indeed, apart from major industry players, we also have several non-profit organizations and universities that use KP’s social bookmarking approach for collaborative knowledge sharing.
There are many different tools out there, but I guess we really focused on knowledge workers needs and how small teams can efficiently organize information and selectively share it at a wider scale. (Knowledge curation)
In organisations, there are many more subtleties than you would find in Delicious or Diigo for the open web – such as how to partially constrain the folksonomy to an existing taxonomy, etc. to make sure people don’t get lost in unstructured tag clouds or folders.
If you have in mind any initiatives that would benefit from being powered by KP, feel free to get in touch!
Greg

Thank you Greg! I want to digg a bit deeper. Not a true tech-aficionado. How would one go
about about connecting with emergency management communities and related parthers?
You’re welcome!
There are two ways – either you feel confident about setting up a test environment yourself and there is a free trial with online support to help you.
Or we have in-house consultants who can help you through the process based on a more explicit description of your needs.
Either way feel free to get in touch via our website or Linkedin!
Kind regards,
Greg
