Bored of adding keywords and definitions to your bookmark list? Wanna add images to it? Try Faviki….it is a social bookmaking tool that allows you to use semantic tagging technique. It uses a tag instead of adding users randomly.

It is using DBpedia, a Wikipedia database that is based on standardized structured format, and users can search their desired tag using a sophisticated query. Main characteristic of the new tag system on which the Wikipedia database works is, it provides the uniqueness and disambiguation to the tag name. How the names are defined in the database can be viewed here.

Structured tags will give an extra amount of information to its users by linking their particular tag’s information, properties and attributes with other tags.

User can enjoy the innovative Faviki, by installing the browser bookmarklet and therefore; can save links(with tags of course),they can search for the most popular saved links, and this will also give them a review of the most hot searches all around the world.

Zigtag, is another service that depicts the same idea, but its tags are based on defined meanings, that is, if you are tagging any page then you are assigning it a definition instead of tag. This will give you a bulk information instead of providing a precise and definite result.

As pointed by the ReadWriteWeb,the thing which is really missing is, one cannot import any links from other services and therefore it would be harder for the users to switch over.

As described by Nova, the founder of Twine, tags will dominate keywords in the future and after 10-15 years keywords will be disappear, and therefore, Faviki has really putted the edging stone in this field, but time will tell whether it will be a great hit or not.
