A fourth guide has just arrived in the Social Media friend stable. Priced at 69p, it’s cheaper than buying the whole Social Media Friend App (which also includes this guide and is still on sale at £1.49p) and focuses Social Bookmarking and the popular social bookmarking tool Delicious.

The guide includes an introduction to Delicious and details on Tags, Tag Bundles and Tag Clouds. It also shows you how to improve your tagging technique and explains why tagging has an advantage over traditional search engines.

A Global Appeal For Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts and More

When I came to write my study guide – Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts and More – I never really envisioned it being offered for sale all over the world (although the concepts comfortably fit global teaching environments and university students or staff members trying to get their head around the world of Web 2.0). It’s therefore been a nice surprise to see it being offered in a variety of different worldwide locations including:

Canada
USA
Japan
France
and Germany

and given me a renewed perspective on the global phenomenon and concepts of web 2.0 from an academic viewpoint. I hope it is internationally of use.
