It could be not so easy to tell from the UI, but Rawsugar had and still has a lot of value. Its innovative, patent based, faceted guided search is one of the few innovations inside the social bookmarking field. A much needed innovation if we want to make tags scaling and if we bother about the user experience with folksonomies. People continue to talk about delicious. Large user base, bad UI and user experience, few innovation, completely useless as a tool to refind o keep found a few hundreds (not to say thousands of bookmarks). Don't think about using it to find links from other users if you don't know the right tag. I came to know Frank Smadja because I really loved Rawsugar. I loved it because it was the only solution to a real scenario of social bookmarking sites. I used their bookmarklet everyday to save, annotate and manage new posts found on the web and to use these bookmarks for my job, articles, etc. Managing, for me, means having a way to make order into a chaotic bag of otherwise useless flat tags. Rawsugar provided this possibility automatically discovering tags' hierarchiesand helping in their navigation. I'm completely sure that their technology will bring a competitive advantage to some company. Think for example to enteprise social tagging services like Cogenz and Connectbeam.. What are they waiting for? 2007-01-05T00:47:27.723+01:00 2007-01-05T00:47:27.723+01:00
