What is Social Bookmarking?

Social Bookmarking allows thousands of Internet users to keep their bookmark collections on a website instead just on their personal computer.

There are some huge advantages when users learn and use social bookmarks.

Anywhere at Anytime
By listing your bookmarks on a website rather then just on your own computer you will be able to access your favorite websites from anywhere or from any computer. The bookmarks are available backed up no matter which computer you use!

Social Bookmarks make it possible to Share with Others
Most bookmark sites are public and available for anyone to use or read. This makes it possible for you to see what other people have found interesting and share your own bookmarks with others.

Users can Find the Best on the Web based on the input of people, and not a machines
With social bookmarking, only bookmarks other people think are worth keeping can be found.

One of my new favorite social bookmarking websites is Ma.gnolia because this site rate and tags instantly this offers users an idea of what other people think about a bookmark and make web searches more informed than it ever has been.

I have been using del.icio.us for years now and found it very handy when I got my new laptop when it came to finding all the places I like to visit while on a clean computer!

Social bookmarking is a lot like having a community of expert assistants help find what is being looked for!

When you sign up for a social bookmarking account you can easily add any site or page of a site to your bookmarks. You might also be noticing that many websites and blogs offer their readers links to quickly and easily add a book mark.

If you notice in the right column of this blog there are several options listed where readers can add a bookmark with little more then a click!

So what is stopping you? Why not get an account and start bookmarking the things you find interesting on the Internet!
