Remembrance of things tagged: How tagging effort affects tag production and human memory
We developed a low-effort interaction method called Click2Tag for social bookmarking. Information foraging theory predicts that the production of tags in will increase as the effort required to do so…

Annotate once, appear anywhere: collective foraging for snippets of interest using paragraph fingerprinting
In this paper we report how we explore the idea of paragraph fingerprinting to achieve the goal of annotate once, appear anywhere in a social annotation system called SparTag.us.

Using temporal patterns (T-Patterns) to derive stress factors of routine tasks
We describe the use of a statistical technique called T-pattern analysis to derive and characterize the routineness of tasks.

So you know you’re getting the best possible information: a tool that increases Wikipedia credibility
An experiment was conducted to study how credibility judgments about Wikipedia are affected by providing users with an interactive visualization (WikiDashboard) of article and author editing history.

An elementary social information foraging model
This paper reviews a variety of observed phenomena in social information foraging and sketches a framework extending Information Foraging Theory for making predictions about the effects of diversity, interference, and…
