The Social Web Part 2: Social Bookmarking Services
In the beginning there was the web. People stored their bookmarks locally. Then the netgods said: “Let there be tags!”, and social bookmarking emerged. Or something like that.
Social bookmarking is a simple thing. You store your bookmarks (or favorites, if you prefer that term) online and give them a couple of tags, which help you to remember why you stored them in the first place. You can then search your bookmarks for these tags. You can also search through other user’s public bookmarks and look which sites are widely favored - hence the word “social”.
My Top 5
he dinosaur. It’s been there for quite some time and has a huge following. If your looking for a big community, this one is for you. It’s not the most powerful, but it does what it’s supposed to do, without a fuss.
Also one of the older services, and it shows. Bookmarks are easy to handle and edit. When you bookmark a site, Furl stores a copy of it. Nothing spectacular, but reliable.
Pretty much standard in it’s features and doesn’t even have a browser add-on. The only real reasons why I listed it here: Groups are well implemented, and I like the clean and extremely well structured design.
Seriously lacking in the social department, but has one thing that make it shine: A link checker. Shouldn’t that be a standard for an online bookmarking service? If you’re just looking for a way to store your bookmarks online for yourself, Netvouz is worth checking out.
What Netvouz lacks, is Blinklist’s big plus – the community. Other than that, I don’t see anything special about it.
If you want to submit your posts to several of these services at once, you should take look at OnlyWire.
I know there are a lot of other social bookmarking services, but these are the ones I have tried and found handy.

Thanks for parts 1 and 2. Can’t wait for #3. And thanks for laying it out in such an easy to understand fashion - those that are newbies will be able to follow with no problem. Great job!
You’re welcome. Part 3 should be ready soon
I always use onlywire. The thought of not having it any more would just be awful.
And if you like, please do stop by Faimous.com - it’s a social search engine/forum/bookmarking site, with a twist, we hope. It’s still in its developmental stages, but would truly appreciate feedback and comments - especially since your standards are high and you seem to know exactly what you want out of these sites.
Thank you!
I knew del.icio.us but I didn’t know others.Thanks.
Since then, social bookmarking had become very popular.

thanks for link listing social bookmarks……… very useful
Delicious (del.icio.us!) is the only one I use regularly.
I have to say the social book marking works. I’ve been using onlywire.com but I think I don’t really get how to use the other one you mentioned. BTW I hadn’t heard of Qualitycontent.net until I read one of the comments above. What a cool service?
It is delicious to have such an article..social bookmarking is used in searching the web pages in the form of tags that collectively and/or collaboratively become a folksonomy. I have learnt many things from the post..

Excellent Stuff. Thanks for sharing It really helps me to used bookmarking
SMO websites have huge importance in marketing strategy. Many people used it for social bookmarking and share it with other peoples.
Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web pages on the Internet with the help of metadata, typically in the form of tags that collectively and/or collaboratively become a folksonomy. Folksonomy is also called social tagging, “the process by which many users add metadata in the form of keywords to shared content”.
