Abstract
The paper proposes a new mechanism to foster collaborative information gathering in social bookmarking service. The mechanism provides awareness information about other users by Browsed users function. This function presents information about who browsed into user’s bookmark library and whom the user browsed into his bookmark library. A case study has been conducted to evaluate the effect of this function on information gathering behaviors using an experimental social bookmarking site. The result shows the positive effect of awareness information on collaborative information gathering in social bookmarking service.
