ttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2003/12/031223071958.htm People are using the Web more than ever for their work-related
and personal research, but keeping track of valuable URLs is just
getting harder. William Jones and Harry Bruce at the University of
Washington's Information School and Susan Dumais of Microsoft Research
looked into the many tricks that people use to save "found"
information (bookmarking, sticky notes, self-addressed e-mail, etc.)
but concluded that most people don't use any of them when it comes
time to revisit a page. They just go through the original search
process all over again. "Our results so far tell us the tools for
keeping track of Web pages don't mesh well with how people work with
the Web," says Jones. The researchers found that even when offered an
enhanced "Add to Favorites" option to a Web browser, it was largely
ignored by students in the test group. As a result, the researchers
are developing a conceptual framework for how people stockpile
information, dubbed the "personal anticipation of information need,"
or PAIN. "People are motivated by PAIN," quips Bruce. The team is also
addressing the problem of "information fragmentation" -- vital info is
often scattered across e-mail, files, contact information, Web
references, etc. -- with a "My Life" personal taxonomy intended to
provide techniques and tools for organizing this hodgepodge of data.
"We live in the Information Age, and the effective use of information
is the key to prosperity," says a program officer at the National
Science Foundation, which is funding the effort. "This project
provides the theoretical underpinnings for a human-centric information
environment that will enable individuals, families, organizations and
societies to continually build upon their experience and gain control
over the seemingly endless volumes of information confronting them."

01/23/2004 02:20 PMHey folks, if any of your are subscribed to the RSS feed under the
old deanebarker.net domain name, you need to get that changed to
gadgetopia.com right quick. DNS on deanebarker.net is changing as we
speak, as that site is going to become my personal blog sometime in
the future.
If you don't change the domain name, this may be the last post your
aggregator can find. Whether that's a blessing or curse, I leave to
you to decide.

07/02/2004 11:26 AMYesterday during the Mozilla love-in, Gadgetopia reader Tomas hipped us to the Bookmarks Synchronizer Extension. I hadn't
heard of it before, but it's a great extension. Basically, you give it
an FTP site, and it will upload a copy of your bookmarks. Add it to
another copy of FireFox (at home, for instance), and you can use it to
keep the two copies in sync.
It also has an option to only synchronize a folder instead of the
whole bookmarks tree. That would be a great way for a team to share a
common list of bookmarks. I work with a group of folks who are all
learning .NET. Whenever someone finds a site with good information, we
e-mail the links around to each other. The bookmarks extension would
be even better.

01/09/2004 09:55 PMfreshmeat.net: Project details for Womcat Bookmarks is a program that
maintains Web bookmarks in a set of hierarchical folders. It can
output the bookmarks as an HTML page and as an RSS 2.0 file that can
be placed on a Web site. The RSS file maps folder names into the
"category" element. It can download other RSS files, treating them as
categorized bookmarks to create a local database of Web bookmarks that
can be browsed by subject. It supports RSS discovery by allowing
posting RSS file URLs as new items....

01/25/2004 09:24 AMWhat's Next: Now Where Was I? New Ways to Revisit Web
Sites: There is a $378,000 study underway to figure out why no one
uses heir bookmarks.
...bookmark lists have become "information closets" that
hold a jumble of sites people never return to. Only hyperorganized
users sort sites into folders, clean out dead links or click on
inscrutable addresses to figure out why they were bookmarked in the
first place
And, not to beat a dead horse or anything, Microsoft is again going
to rei
nforce my point that taxonomies just may be dead and you really
just need good search.
...a senior researcher with Microsoft who is also part
of the University of Washington team, has helped develop a program
called Stuff I've Seen. The software is designed to help people recall
documents like e-mail messages and Web sites through a unified search
interface. Keyword search results include related Web sites already
visited, regardless of whether they have been
bookmarked.

William Slabbekoorn (see his comment in Firefox
RSS Support) duplicates Firefox Live Bookmark feature for IE
with a bit of server-side
ASP code that transforms RSS into CDF. You remember CDF don't
you? If
my feed was in CDF format, server-side component wouldn't have been
necessary which
makes Live Bookmarks as uncrappy and useful as CDF.

12/26/2004 07:26 AMdel.icio.us - Social Bookmarks
http://del.icio.us/
del.icio.us is a social bookmarks manager. It allows you to easily
add sites you like to your personal collection of links, to categorize
those sites with keywords, and to share your collection not only
between your own browsers and machines, but also with others. Once
you've registered for the service, you add a simple bookmarklet to
your browser. When you find a web page you'd like to add to your list,
you simply select the del.icio.us bookmarklet, and you'll be prompted
for a information about the page. You can add descriptive terms to
group similar links together, modify the title of the page, and add
extended notes for yourself or for others. You can access your list of
links from any web browser. By default, your links are shown to you in
reverse chronological order, with those you've added most recently at
the top. In addition to viewing by date, you can also view all links
in a specific category (you define your own categories as you add the
links), or search your links for keywords. What makes del.icio.us a
social system is its ability to let you see the links that others have
collected, as well as showing you who else has bookmarked a specific
site. You can also view the links collected by others, and subscribe
to the links of people whose lists you find interesting. This has been
added to the tool section of
