BP5_2009121_SocialBookmarking



Social Bookmarking, what is it anyway and how does it help me? Well whether you are sending emails with attachments or simpling working on blogs and inviting others to view and share in the ideas posted on your blogs, you are taking part in social bookmarking. Social bookmarking is a method used by Internet users to share, search, organize and manage bookmarks of resources found the world wide web, Keep in mind that bookmarks reference these resources but does note share them. This is a great tool for anyone looking to share ideas with others. It is an easy and simple way to share and reference information. One that I have learned about from ETC is Delicious.

I found the following list of what you can do with Social Bookmarks or what Social Bookmarks can do for you
from an article posted by About.com: Web Trends entitled

Social Bookmarking 101 - What is Social Bookmarking and How Can It Help Me?

"Not only can you save your favorite websites and send them to your friends, but you can also look at what other people have found interesting enough to tag. Most social bookmarking sites allow you to browse through the items based on most popular, recently added, or belonging to a certain category like shopping, technology, politics, blogging, news, sports, etc.

You can even search through what people have bookmarked by typing in what you are looking for in the search tool. In fact, social bookmarking sites are being used asintelligent search engines." (http://webtrends.about.com/od/socialbookmarking101/p/aboutsocialtags.htm)

I have also included some screenshots of some social bookmarking tools and links to these tools.

So my social friends, if you have not been social bookmarking, I hope the above reasons will get you started.
