During the dot com boom of the 1990s, many people starting to think of new ways of using the Internet. Some companies invested a lot of time building simple social bookmarking systems, that share links, or bookmarks to web sites with each other. Unfortunately, many of these companies failed when the bubble burst.
Since the launch of del.icio.us in 2003, we've seen a whole host of second-generation social bookmarking systems appear on the Internet. These systems are cleverer, and use features like tagging to determine the semantic nature of web pages. This is particularly important for a lot of marketing-orientated sites that contain few words, but a lot of graphics and flash-based information.
Another approach was devised in 2002, whereby links are stored in menus, in much the same was as users use bookmarks (or "favourites"). These menus are then shared with other users of the system. As people browse the web, the system automatically compares the contents of the current page with those stored in its semantic registry, and delivers any menus containing related information for the user to digest as required.
Since the original invention of the system, development has vastly improved the idea to include additional routes to find information, making
Network Menus on of the most advanced Collaborative or Social bookmarking systems available today. With additional grouping and searching facilities, it is also the ideal solution to deploy within an organisation.
So if you want an easy way to manage your bookmarks or favourites within your browser, and to share your information with others, why not give it a go?!
