Social Bookmarking, Part 3: More Things to Do (Web Sites)
OK, more ideas of things to do. This group looks at some ways to use social bookmarking (and other Web 2.0 tools) to support building web sites.
Idea
Collect resources to create a teaching / learning guide.
Example
Delicious collection becomes a web page resource guide on Avian Flu.
This:
Del.icio.us Avian Flu Collection
becomes this:
Library Guide on Avian Flu Resources
Part of the advantage of this is that as you add new resources, they automatically appear in the web guide without needing to do anymore coding or ask a web master for help. It is also really easy to delete links that have gone bad or disappeared -- literally just clicking a button!
Idea
Use an account to feed content to a web site. Example above demonstrates this with Del.icio.us, but guess what? You can do the same thing with anything that has an RSS feed option (blogs, Twitter, Flickr, search results from Google News, search results from databases like PubMed, tables of contents from you favorite journals, etcetera.
Here is another example like the right above, but instead using a blog to feed content to the web page.
This:
http://mblog.lib.umich.edu/faceit
becomes this:
http://www.dent.umich.edu/faceit
