Video: Social Bookmarking in Plain English

Fabulous, fabulous video Lee & team!

Well explained, interesting and equally as good as all the rest of the videos in your growing collection.

I was listening out for the trademarked boo/yeah and was surprised when I didn't hear it - I even listened again in case I missed it!!

Well done!

Great job Lee. This is another great, short video that clearly communicates the concepts and practical use of new web technologies. Social bookmarking is a hard thing for many of our clients to grasp and this video will really help them. I'll be blogging it up and embedding it in our site. Thanks again!

You know what I've never really understood? Social bookmarking. You know what I understand now? Social bookmarking.

Fab. Thanks.

Loved the video, but you forgot one of my favorites:
#4 - How to send links to another user using the "for:" tag

Terrific Lee including your example. Have to wonder why you selected Math teaching. A previous career perhaps? But I need version 2. I use del.icio.us all the time but still can't figure how to have separate accounts on the one machine. What am I missing?

Great incorporation of how to use and why the benefits can quickly outgrow an individual user.

http://delicious.com = http://del.icio.us

Lee, you're one of the best educators in the field thank you so much for this.

Next, let's do one about podcasting or live video streaming (contact me if you need help or ideas)

Nice job!

I learned something ELSE from this video. I didn't know that it was also registered under www.delicious.com.

I'll add the boos and yeahs when I show this to teachers. :-)

Another pearl to share with everyone. Thanks for your simple yet informative style.

Wonderful, once again. Thank you guys!

On delicious.com, is it possible to link the bookmarked sites to the user(s) who added them? For example, if I had an account named "JohnDoe" and I saved "privatewebsite.com" to Delicious, could other users look at the privatewebsite.com bookmark and see that JohnDoe added it?

I can't thank you enough for creating videos that are simple enough for my parents to understand. They're really well done, too!

Diigo is probably the best social bookmarking site. It lets you highlight sections of a web page, and even comment on those highlights privately or publicly. It lets you have private, group, or public bookmarks. It even includes forums for the groups.

Diigo is awesome.

I never knew del.icio.us spelled out delicious. I feel REALLY stupid. However, I never knew what del.icio.us was used for.

Thanks for enlightening another newb =]

I'm a librarian who's been trying to grasp various Web 2.0 technologies by reading mountains of articles in my professional journals and spending hours in professional development courses. BOO! By watching several of your "Plain English" videos, I learned more in 20 minutes than I have in months. YAY! Crystal clear presentation. You're a gifted teacher!

I'm blogeditor in Denmark and often faces problems in explaning social bookmarking to newbies - this video does the trick.

Keep up the good work

This is a great video. It says it all and says it well. I'll certainly be adding your site to my delicious account. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Well Lee may not know the difference between Tonic Water and Club Soda ;) but he sure does know how to do a KILLER explaination of Socoal Bookmarking! Its so amazing even my mom could understand it.
FABULOUS! I.m gonna BOOKMARK it! and send it to all of my independent musicians who are rying to understand the web.

Hi, Lee. Great job on your video, which I just posted at contentious.com:

I took it a little further, explaining briefly how you can generate a daily post to your blog containing all your del.icio.us links from the last 24 hours.

Also, earlier, Jenny asked: "I use del.icio.us all the time but still can't figure how to have separate accounts on the one machine. What am I missing?"

I actually found a solution for that. If you use the Firefox web browser, there's a great add-on called del.icio.us complete:
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2354

That allows you to manage multiple del.icio.us accounts, among other things.

I know it wasn't my request for this topic that made it happen, but I am still so happy you did it on social bookmarking. :)

Been out of the loop for 3 weeks vacationing in Argentina. This is such a great treat upon return.

Thanks Again!

I'm introducing social bookmarking to our parents forum and I link to your video as a great intro explanation. It would be nice if someone could do another one that helps us understand the state of the art in social bookmarking services.

Harold Jarche pointed me to your videos. I love 'em. Great delivery, fast, good, accurate, lively ...

Keep up the good work!

This is video is great, straight to the point, and easy to understand. I watched it with 10-year old son and he understood everything. I'll definitely add it to my Delicious.com favorites and recommend it to all my friends and colleagues.

Cheers

Just wanted to stop by and thank you for the fantastic series of video's. Such a simple idea and executed so well. We were so inspired by the idea we have shamelessly ripped off your style to promote our own internally hosted enterprise2.0 social bookmarking project.

Nice vid Lee. Thanks for sharing.

Great video. I'm so impressed with your technique--it's entertaining AND informative. Thanks!

Great video. Excellent explanation that I can send to my friends and family that give me blank stares when I try to explain this concept.

Wow... what an amazing video presentation... seriously, one of the best I've ever seen! Thank you!

I love your videos, I've just watched several of them, they're great!

donssite

a great simple and plain explanation thanks you:)

Great demo and easy to understand. Sure beats trying to sync "favorites" folders on multiple computers.

Thanks much!

thank you now i know what bookmarking is really about before i used to be always confused of how to use it :)

its becoming as popular and trendy part of web2.0 for people to use and works great to find nformation from others

You said "delicious dot com" actually it isn't "dot com"

nice video. we can get a free traffic from this but still being flooded with spams.

Great job Lee. This is another great, short video that clearly communicates the concepts and practical use of new web technologies.

I guess I'm the contrarian, but I don't miss the boo/yeah. This one feels tighter, and really focused.

social bookmarking - All of this garbage is actually waste of time

Good post. To add a social book marking button for everything, use these simple steps which I found to be useful!

Very usefull. Thank you. I think I could make a starship if you explain how to do it this way.
I'm surely going to use del-ici0-us.

Well, finally I understand what's behind social bookmarking. It's getting increasingly hard to keep up with the evolution of the internet. It's funny, I actually used del ic ous out of curiosity and in the process of adding psychic readings sites to my "tags", I have inadvertently created social bookmarking in this genre. Additionally, I have seen in the search engine results, pages from del ic ious using psychic readings the search term. I think the lightbulb went off, it was just a little dim at the time. But thanks to this informative video by Lee, ideas are shining much more brightly. Great! I'll be checking back.

Nice video, I really enjoyed it and I learned a little more about del.icio.us

thank you very much and more of your wisdom please. still is confused with tages and bundles, it get a bit messy after importing firefox bookmarks into del.icio.us. Lot of tags got it messy. should we not care about the mess (cost from giving a bookmark, a full descriptive tags+possibility tags), since we have our blog anyway (for the best stuff)? or is it bundle function job? or just plain knowledge management skills?
thank you! you are making a big different, help people make best use of existing technologies, each web2.0s should have you in their sales pitch point 1!

Thanks for you support again guys!

thank you so much!! found you b/c of Ariel publicity.
Thank you!!
:)

People don't understand that they should make their tags OneWord so that it doesn't split them up and make them incomprehensible (like "the best website" is a very silly tag).

Thanks for you support again guys.

thank you so much!! found you b/c of Ariel publicity.

Ok..now you have a hook in me. One of my clients referred me to your site and this is awesome. Truly in plain english. Hope you get back to me on contracting you out for videos.

I've seen that type of video demonstration before and I think they're cool like that. nice job.

I like how you used full color printed materials as opposed to cut outs from notepaper i nblack and white pen or pencil drawing like others I've seen.
You took a bit of time on that video , printing and cutting out all those pieces. very nice .

remember when ever you have to print a lot of materials in color check out :

Great video - if they were all that easy to understand - everything would be EZ. lol

What's to keep these "bookmarks" from breaking on a daily basis? Surely nothing Microsoft is doing. They can't even keep MSDN links current.
"Tags", eh? Has anyone heard of folders? Under a folder called Math, create a new one called Algebra. No genious required to figure that one out.
Tied to one computer? Complete BS. Anyone heard of a flash drive? Mine's 8gb.

This is just one more "bell and whistle" that'll die off. imo, don't waste your time.

As one of the usability practitioners, I find your video one of the best training materials I have ever seen. Great work!!

Often times the new marketing buzzwords are hard to understand. This video did a great job of explaining social bookmarking in a simple, but effective way. Being in the Halloween costumes industry, leveraging social media is very important for a few months out of the year.

What a fun way to present these confusing topics. Our stock footage business www.reactionshots.com is confusing to many people. But you have a way of making topics simple to understand. Thanks!

hello...
now, i hope u readying to link affiliate with my web
please u link

Definitely one of the best videos on social bookmarking - easy to understand and not boring. Thank you for keeping it interesting.

Very to the point video giving a simple yet understandable explanation to the social networking possibilities.
It seems to me that once you have a grasp of tags and how they can be used to group together similar points of interest, then order is restored.

Thanks for the great video, I will be looking for more of the same.

David

Great video! Alot of people know what Myspace and Facebook are, but when you mention "Social Networking" they are baffled. Your video does a fantastic job of explaining it in "laymans terms". Short, sweet and to the point.

Thanks!
