Social Bookmarking

Social Bookmarking is one of my favorite things to come out of the web 2.0 revolution. The two sites that I LOVE for social bookmarking are StumbleUpon and Delicious. These sites allow me to tag and share websites that I come across online and feel compelled to save for work or personal reasons. Now, if I am not on my computer, I can access my favorites from anywhere and everywhere.

How my favorites sites are saved is the super cool part - since I have added tags to my favorites sites, I can quickly and easily recall them without having to remember where I saved them. I have folders inside of folders inside of more folders in my old static favorites and honestly, for as organized as I thought this once was, now because I have so many saved, I find it cumbersome and hard to navigate.

Your tags are your labels - here is a snapshot of my tags:

So, why would YOU want to do this? The "social" part of Social Bookmarking is hands-down the reason you should get involved. SHARE your links with people you are connected with AND they will share with YOU!!!

Web 2.0 is all about participation. Why keep all of the cool information you find online to yourself? Share it with others and they will share with you!
