I have found my social bookmarking soulmate. Their name on citeulike.com is Millco and we are perfect for one another. While I have just started learning about social bookmarking, Millco seems to be a seasoned veteran. They cite many scholarly articles on the topics that fascinate me: piracy, experience, consumption and production, creative industries, technology, psychology, and aesthetics and design. Millco doesn’t do much tagging, but I can’t blame them for that, because I’m lazy about tagging as well. When they do tag, however, they use words like “music”, “experience”, “piracy”, “p2p”, etc.—things that are extremely applicable to my research interests.
Millco doesn’t add many comments, but they are very thorough in their research and bookmarking. They mark articles that are frequently bookmarked by many other users and usually show interest in scholarly, academic articles. They have bookmarked about 100 pages since they joined the site in May of last year, and just about every one of the articles in their library sounds like something I would take interest in. Even if an article doesn’t relate to my research directly, it somehow relates to my other interests (academic or personal). They bookmark often; generally more than a few times a week.
While Millco doesn’t use tags very often, the article titles speak for themselves. I’m glad I can now see all of Millco’s library, because I would love to further my research on piracy and file sharing using some of their resources for my own reading. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a person studying communications like myself, because their academic interests are so incredibly in line with my own.
Check out their library!
