2collab - Elsevier steps into social bookmarking

on

A colleague forwarded me an email about Elsevier's social bookmarking service. It's eye-candy index is definitely 2.0. I haven't signed up as yet, but have read through this "kinda" review, 2collab: A review, kinda.  This was written in late November, it may be that some of the reported bugs have been ironed out by now.

One thing I have noticed is a lack of RSS feeds.

I'll put this on my list of things to investigate.

I'll take that back about RSS feeds. There is a button on the page I was looking at, but it is blue instead of orange so it wasn't very obvious.
And there was no autodiscovery link in the page so my browser didn't alert me. It just goes to show how dependent I've become on IE's 'whistle' telling me when RSS is available.

G'day. The day they announced this, I sent an email to the people with their name on the announcement. Told them that I'd like to tell my academics why they should use this over CiteULike or Connontea or del.icio.us - could they please tell me the difference.

Not heard back from them. :)

Real people as well as active users are the ones that edit social bookmakingwebsites. The even more preferred your web links become, the more customers will share them, hence enhancing website traffic in addition to popularity.
As more people like as well as share, the more direct exposure you receive. All without added effort from your advertising group. The key is to set up your profile and also bookmarking project well, and afterwards delight in the return.
