Social bookmarking websites are becoming more and more
popular. They allow you to save bookmarks online and
Tag/Categorize them with keywords instead of saving them
as bookmarks in the favorite’s list of your browser.
This is particularly useful when your browser based
bookmarks have become unwieldy. It’s also help since
you can access your bookmarks from any computer where
you have an internet connection.

I have compiled a list of Social Bookmarking websites from
a number of sources. You can find it here:
http://www.blogmarketingtactics.com/social-bookmarking/social-bookmarking-top-links.html

Once you have bookmarked them, you can view them, sort
them by category/keyword as well as see links from others
that have been categorized like yours.

You also establish RSS feeds for each category (tag) that you
’subscribe’ to. This alerts you to new links in your areas of
interest. Your bookmark collection/RSS Feed becomes
viewable to others who can also copy your bookmarks to their
own collection. So now you can aggressively promote your
RSS feed to the RSS Directories and Search engines,
syndicate them and make them available to a much wider
audience.

Social bookmarking sites also help you to meet other people
who are interested in the same topics you are and who may
also have knowledge of web resources that you don’t.

On Social Bookmarking sites, you first create an account.
Then you bookmark interesting and useful things in the area
of your interest or expertise. By doing so you create a
useful Feed. Once you’ve done that you intermittently,
(or aggressively), add useful and interesting items, (that
could use additional exposure), from your own content.
Make an honest effort to contribute USEFUL information
and links. This is all about sharing and exposure. Done
properly, you can be as aggressive as you want to be about
sharing information. You can share your blog(s), links to
your informational/resource sites etc. Think about the fact
that when you share links to other’s resources, you’re also
effectively promoting their content as well.

This is a way you can aggressively and ethically promote
your content and the content of others. I personally
have hundreds of gigabytes of my own information and
information of others, connected to my notebook. In the
final analysis, it’s doing me no good what-so-ever just
sitting there. But by organizing it, online, I can help
myself, (getting organized, getting my content exposed,
etc.) and help others at the same time.

If you spice up your feed with too much sales and
marketing related or self promotional stuff, people
can and will easily drop their subscription to your feed.
And instead of gaining good will and doing a service
to the internet community you could get labeled as a
spammer and suffer the consequences.

So while being aggressive is possible and acceptable,
being careful to consider the best interest of the
community is certainly warranted.

Balancing being ethical and providing a useful service
to others with promoting your own content enables you
to be as aggressive as you like. But remember, in the
final analysis, others will make the decision on whether
it’s ethical and useful or spam.

Social bookmarking is a great and unique way for online users to have the ability of storing, organizing, sharing and searching for bookmarks of web pages. Through this system, online users can save the links to the web pages, which they want to remember to visit again, or the web pages that they want to share to other people.

These books would usually be public. However, depending on the features of the service, they could be privately saved and shared only with specific groups or specific people, or shared only within certain networks or through a combination of privateness and publicness. These allowed people could usually view these saved bookmarks chronologically, or by tags or category, or via search engine, or randomly.

Social bookmarking is generally public bookmarking. It accomplishes two things. The first one would be that your bookmarks would be accessible not just from a single computer, but basically from anywhere you could go online. Second, instead of keeping a long list of disorganized favorites and bookmarks in your browser, you would have a great database of your organized bookmarks to make it easier to find exactly what you need. Presently, there are may forms of technology, as well as special interest websites available which offer quick tutorials, reviews and overviews of the basics, along with the advance features of social bookmarking.

It does have a lot of benefits and advantages over the traditional resource location, as well as classification software like search engine spiders. Among the more popular social bookmarking websites are Furl, Digg, del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, Reddit, Newsvine, Netvouz, Thoof and Sitebar.

What is Social Bookmarking?
You are probably already familiar with bookmarking web sites, that you want to visit again, using your Internet Explorer or Firefox web browser. The bookmarks you create to these sites are for your personal use and are stored on your computer.

Social Bookmarking is the next step in bookmarking, where you and others can share bookmarks to web sites you think may be of interest to others. This is done via onlinel Bookmarking services. After you have signed up for the Social Bookmarking service, you will be allowed to register a website, site description and tags (keywords) with the service – this is a bookmark. You will also be allowed to share this bookmark, or you can keep it private (depending on the service). This information is stored by the Social Bookmarking service, and is not stored on your computer.
