Social Bookmarking

BOOKMARK AND HIGHLIGHT THE WEB

In these days, every thing has an application. What about the social bookmarking? Every day, while we are browsing the web, we find lots of websites that can be useful for us or our homework. We bookmark them in the computer. What if we change our computer? All of them will delete. How can we prevent from losing them? Or Have you ever wanted to e-mail a friend or family member and send them a link to a website you thought they might find interesting? Here is a tip: Social bookmarking.

What is the social bookmarking? Social bookmarking is the practice of saving bookmarks to a public Web site and tagging them with keywords. Social bookmarking not only save your favourite websites and enable you to send them to your friends, but it can also enable you to look at what other people have found interesting enough to tag. Social bookmarking opens the door to new ways of organizing information and categorizing resources.

Here is a link that you can find a list of 125 social bookmarking: http://www.searchenginejournal.com/50-social-bookmarking-sites-importance-of-user-generated-tags-votes-and-links/

I can not explain all of them but I will try to explain the one I use. It is diigo.com which allows signed-up users to bookmark, highlight and add sticky notes to the web. It is a really useful web tool which you can create your own library that compose of the name of your favourite and useful websites. You can share them as private or public. It is up to you. I use this social bookmarking and absolutely suggest it.
