Facette.Csail.Mit.Edu - Facets For Delicious

Facette is a set of tools that is geared towards Delicious users. In general terms, these will enable such individuals to organize their bookmarks using facets.

A facet, incidentally, is a way to present information that takes into account more dimensions than one. For example, a t-shirt and a sweater can be termed facets, whereas aspects such as the fabric are termed facet values.



Facette, then, offers a bookmarklet that lets users organize tags in an automatic fashion. This bookmarklet is presented as a Firefox plugin that can be procured at no cost, and if you wish you can sign up for a user study and be contacted by the team responsible for the project after testing Facette out for a set period of time.

The main asset of Facette is that it enables anybody to apply more specific tags, as you not only label the object in question but also aspects such as what type of information it contains, as well as the uses you plan to put it to.

On the whole, this new project aims to let anybody have a more organized Delicious library, and keep track of as many items as he wants without things becoming cluttered or out of hand. If Delicious is where you spend a long stretch of your day, this tool might provide you with some interesting alternatives.
