Taking social bookmarking behind the firewall opens up new uses, including the following:
Providing topical resource lists that can be personalized and shared—creating personal "knowledge management" systems through lists of winning sales proposals, best practice deliverables, etc., around specific topics or work efforts;
Extending individual profiles to let others know what content an individual considers important;
Facilitating discovery of employees with similar interests or facing similar issues;
Offering support to online workgroup activity;
Measuring popularity of intranet documents through numbers of tags; and
Supplementing enterprise search engines through the emergence of new keywords that are meaningful to employees.
