  Visualizing Social Bookmarks Social bookmarking tools are very popular nowadays. In most tools, users tag the bookmarks to describe them. Therefore, it is often hard for users to discover implicit structures between tags, users and bookmarks. We think that this is essential for both end users to discover new bookmarks that could be of interest to them, and for researchers who want to study how people use social information retrieval tools. In this work, a cluster map visualization application is customized to enable users to explore social bookmarks in the del.icio.us system. The design of the application aims to automatically identify tag and community structures, and visualizes these structures in order to increase the users' awareness of them. Joris Klerkx & Erik Duval

  Flickr: Photos tagged with jaguar Flickr has Flickr clusters, which, provided a popular tag, give related tags grouped into clusters. For example, looking at the clusters for the word Jaguar, we see that the clusters neatly fall into several semantic categories of Jaguars: animal, car and plane. The hereby presented guidepost is what makes the difference. Clustering makes it possible to present a guidepost, to provide the means that allow the user to explore the information space. In addition, Flickr also has an interestingness exploration technique which they define as a factor of several parameters including the pageviews, the comments left by users, the specific users, etc.
