Social Bookmarks

Social bookmarking web sites allow you to bookmark your favorite web sites directly on the Internet instead of on your computer. When you bookmark a web site, you can also organize it, “tag” it (i.e. assign a keyword to it), and share it with others on the network. There are several benefits to social bookmarking, including access to your bookmarks when you’re away from your computer, the ability to “tag” web sites based on their content, and the ability to easily share your bookmarks with others. They are also useful in that you can explore other user’s bookmarks and find new web sites that may interest you.
