Social Bookmarking

Social networking is the practice of saving your bookmarks to a public site. You can choose to share it with your freinds or you can keep them just for yourself. There are lots of services avaailable online for this. To name a few, del.icio.us , blinklist, rawsugar, netvouz, shadows, furl, simpy, spurl, yahoobookmarks, ma.gnolia, folked, jots, spinspy....Huh...ya that is lot rt.....

I always wonder why there are somany websites for this simple thing. Most of the sites have more services along with the book marking...like rating others bookmarks, commenting about them, seaching the bookmarks, top bookmarks, tagging. Here you can interact with the other users and make freinds with them too. But, One is fine for me..Why hundreds ha..anyways..choose one of them and establish your social bookmarking network. I advice you to use del.icio.us .

I have no idea that where things are going in social book marking. There is very less bandwidth for it move forward. It looks like it has reached threshold now. Lets see what we can unleash in the following years.

Diigo has gone forward to give a annotations faility along with the bookmarking. Here, you can select the text from any webpage ..highlight it..boom..it is saved on the server for later viewing. This can be used as very good reaserch tool. It is like you are reading a book, you uinderline the important things in an article for later fast reference. I certainly find it very useful. You can give a shot.
