Evolution of Web
Published in Akshi Kumar, Web Technology, 2018
Social bookmarking is a way to store, organize, search, manage, and share collections of websites. In a social bookmarking system, users save links to websites that they want to remember and/or share. These bookmarks are usually public, but can be saved privately, or shared only with specified people or groups. People can access these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, or via a search engine.Many social bookmarking services provide web feeds (RSS) for their lists of bookmarks and tagged categories. This allows subscribers to become aware of new bookmarks as they are saved, shared, and tagged by other users.As these services have matured and grown more popular, they have added extra features such as ratings and comments on bookmarks, the ability to import and export bookmarks from browsers, emailing of bookmarks, web annotation, and groups or other social network features.

Perceptions of serendipitous content discovery capability in turn likely drive participation in content curation, because people actively look for and desire serendipitous experiences in the knowledge discovery process (Foster and Ford 2003). Serendipitous experiences are inherently associated with hedonic feelings of pleasure (Baumeister 2006), and as a result, systems that promote serendipitous information discovery may be more likely to see frequent use (Van der Heijden 2004). Past work has shown that community-derived connections between topics create a compelling environment for users, leading to sustained usage and vibrant digitally mediated communities (Ransbotham and Kane 2011; Benbunan-Fich and Koufaris 2010). For example, the serendipitous browsing promoted by Wikipedia has been cited as a key component of its attraction (Chang and Quiroga 2010). Another example involves the lasting appeal of social bookmarking sites based on the ‘bubbling up’ of new and fresh content within community sites like Reddit. From this we derive the following hypothesis: H2: Perceptions of serendipitous content discovery capability are positively associated with intentions to curate rich-media content.

The independent variable, denoted ‘Search Condition’, differentiated between a collaborative and an individual information search. The latter took place in a separate bookmarking system only displaying each employee’s own Web resources (in form of a list) as well as her/his own tags (in form of a tag cloud). Under the collaborative condition, the employees shared a social bookmarking system making available the resources and tags of all the system’s members. To increase statistical power, we realized a randomized counterbalanced repeated measurement design: Every employee collected Web resources under both conditions for two weeks each, where one half of the participants switched from the individual to the collaborative and the other half from the collaborative to the individual condition. For statistical analyses, we then merged the data of the two individual and the two collaborative study halves.

Here, social media works as a tool to support information exchange without direct information flow. Two types of applications are identified from the sampled literatures. Firstly, social media can work as a repository to store information. Text data (Wang et al. 2015), images (Yates and Paquette 2011), audio and video material (Chirumalla, Oghazi, and Parida 2018) can be stored in social media such as in blogs (Irani et al. 2017). In addition, applications like social bookmarking can store information about personnel expertise (Bertoni and Larsson 2011), enabling quick expert location and connection within or across organisations. The data stored in social media can contain rich contextual information and can help others better understand and utilise it (Chirumalla 2013).
