Final note on tagging: other systems
Some students have been having trouble finding things that other people have tagged on the web and which are also relevant to their final topics. Don’t feel like you have to restrict yourself to del.icio.us, technorati, and Flickr only. Any system that uses tags and which you can subscribe to will be fine for the assignment. This includes Chinese-language tagging systems, as long as you explain in English on your blog what they are.
Note that Yahoo Hong Kong has a new tagging system. Also see Baidu’s tagging system. (A review in English of the Baidu system is here. According to a new report only 2.3% of China’s internet users currently use tags.)
Also note that Prof. Daniel Churchill from the Education Faculty’s Division of IT Studies has set up a tagging system just for the HKU community, HKU Scuttle. Please feel free to use that and let us know whether you think a more localized tagging community is more useful to you.
