Abstract  This paper analyzes the characteristics of experienced users’ bookmarks and tags on social bookmarking websites in Web2.0 ages. The research methods used in this study include content analysis, Q method and interviews. Clustering analysis of the test subjects is also conducted to understand the relations between user types and tag selection behaviors. Through the analysis of the diverse factors affecting the test subjects and their tagging orientations, the paper categorizes four social types of users and further discusses the characteristics of sociality and the implications for related system applications.
