Relevance of Social Bookmarking

   Technology, indeed, made a huge impact on our lives & it significantly changed the way we humans live over the recent years.  And while it continues to evolve over the years, we see new changes that continue to contribute to our very existence & it enables us to live comfortable lives, while at the same time, constantly learn new bits & pieces of information that will give us added knowledge. And with the advent of social networking, computer users are now engrossed with a new method called social bookmarking.

    According to a definition by Wikipedia, it is a method for Internet users to share, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web resources. Unlike file sharing, the resources themselves aren't shared, merely bookmarks that reference them.

     In a nutshell, social bookmarking is like tagging. The only difference is that, instead of tagging (or placing a name that is associated to a certain topic), the pieces of information that is being tagged are websites, forums, & educational material that are related to that keyword.

    As explained further by Wikipedia, in a social bookmarking system, users save links to web pages that they want to remember and/or share. These bookmarks are usually public, and can be saved privately, shared only with specified people or groups, shared only inside certain networks, or another combination of public and private domains. The allowed people can usually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, or via a search engine.
