Adventure into Faviki

Hmm... Here is my tour through Faviki site. It is another free social bookmarking tool developed by Vuk Milicic from Belgrade, Serbia. Differ from Diigo that it does not need to install toolbar, which make it more simple to use like Delicious. One amazing thing about Faviki is, it introduces semantic tags concept to users. According to Faviki, "free-word tags do not have defined meanings". What Faviki does is, it not only allows user to bookmark web pages, insert tags, automatically categorise tags, it also connects those tags to wikipedia's terms. It gives meaning to tags used in it. It also provides bookmarklet which links to the user's browser toolbar.

I am going to show you all what does it mean by giving a meaning to tag. Here, I have decided to bookmark the Louise Hansen Dyer Music Library.

1. Click the add bookmark "+" on the top right corner in Faviki.

2. Type in the URL address of the website you want to add as bookmark.

3. A tag adding box will appear with different suggested tags.

4. Place your cursor over Louise Hanson Dyer, a drop-down box will appear with a brief explanation about who is Louise Hanson Dyer from Wikipedia. See the below diagram.


5. You can add as many tags you want.

6. Save it.

7. Back to your Faviki main page, a list of bookmarks that you have added will appear, include all the tags you have selected.

8. Place your cursor over each of those tags, you will have a brief explanation box appear under the related tag. As shown in the diagram below.


Another good thing about Faviki is, those tags are available in 14 different languages.

Fun tool to use!! Try it out!!
