Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web pages on the Internet with the help of metadata. Social bookmarking isnt just for personal organization; the way this form of social media works is that as you add web pages to your social bookmarking system, they become public, and can be shared only with other people or groups. Most social bookmark services encourage users to organize their bookmarks with tags, which enables viewing other bookmarks associated with a chosen tag, and includes information about the number of users who have bookmarked them. As social bookmarking services have matured and grown more popular, they have added extra features such as ratings and comments on bookmarks, the ability to import and export bookmarks from browsers, emailing of bookmarks, web annotation, and groups or other social network features. |
