What is Social Bookmarking?

Social bookmarking is a process of storing website links in a social bookmarking site using keywords as tags to categorize and manage closely-related information. Just as bookmarking is intended to save a website address containing specific topic for future purposes, social bookmarking provides a way to store them in a special way using any website offering bookmarking tool. In this way, the user can designate specific tag relating to a number of relevant links. In addition, the user also has the option to share such information to other social bookmarking subscribers or making it private. In a social bookmarking site, the user can also get updated with latest tags being added as well as frequently searched tags to have a quick access on links that may be useful for him.
