    oh boy...where to begin?

    lol...emy.....good question....

    Everyone browses the internet with an internet browser....occasionally, we stumble across websites we like for one reason or another...

    When people come across so many sites that they like, it's hard to keep track of everything...so, that's where social bookmarking comes in real handy....

    There is a bit more to the social bookmarking process than that, though...

      ...to expound....

      social bookmarking saves people time and hassle....its a more effective and efficient approach to the internet browsing experience...

      Some social bookmarking sites are some of the most visited in the world, like DIGG and Reddit....

      So, especially if you have a company/something to offer, you can use social bookmarking to spread word. Businesses should naturally want to maximize their profits, right? Then....using social bookmarking is a great way to advertise and draw eyes to what you offer...

        Hi everyone,

        In my modest opinion social bookmarking has a potential to boost web traffic dramatically. Also, it can help e-marketers to reach a wild range of customers with almost no cost. However, E-marketers have no control of the demographical characteristics among the people with their preferences unless the bookmarking is organized and classified.

        For individuals, I couldn't see the attractiveness of social bookmarking comparing with Face Book. they seem compete each other at some stage.

        Unless I have misunderstood the concepts I hope that I put another view regarding this piont

        Cheers

    It is a way for Internet users to tag, organize/manage their bookmarks and share them.

    It can be a good tool for generating additional traffic or getting backlinks to your sites/blogs.

    Social bookmarking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia here is the link where term social bookmarking is explained very clearly. Also I could tell how I imagine the social bookmaking if you do not want to bookmark any websites in your browser and would like that all your bookmarks would be visible to you an others when you use social bookmaking which let's you to bookmark websites and let others to see.

    Hello,
    Yes social bookmarking has a lot of potential but there are tons of social bookmarking sites and tons of aspects to getting the maximum out of it.

    Essentially in my opinion what you really want to maximize your time is to target the top few which are highly populated as well as higher pr rather than wasting time submitting it to 100s with low pr or sites which aren't stable. It's still worth something but it might be more of a work than value but it's really a personal decision.

    If you get on the first page of digg or buzz or any other social bookmarking site you'll get a surge of traffic however it's pretty difficult and there are a lot of critia.

    The one I like best is stumble upon. When I put my sites on it, I immediately see some traffic and what's best is users can like it and if they like it your site will appear on even more people stumble! Thus essentially this means it can go viral without work!

    Additionally as usual if you can get more people to like what you're posting such as buzz, or digg, or stumble, favourite your site the better it'll be for you. Many people put sign widgets that allow users to easily do this for you.

    Hope this helps!
    Benjamin

    Normally in your own PC we will do bookmarks and they are used by you only, when comes to social bookmarking, the bookmarked items will be viewed by others too..

    Social bookmarks are a relatively new phenomenon on the Web. The concept behind this new trend is rather simple which is often the case with good ideas.
    The general idea behind social bookmarks is that rather than saving a bookmark for a web page in a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox, users instead save the bookmark to a publicly accessible web site. Other people can then see your bookmark and ideally be exposed to something that you wouldn't otherwise encounter.
    Some social bookmarking sites also employ a voting system that allows users to indicate what bookmarks they found interesting. As a bookmark receives more and more votes, it's prominence on the web site increases which in turn attracts more and more votes. The ultimate is to have the bookmark appear on the homepage of the social bookmark site.

    It's sharing, managing and organizing your web resources. Eg. If you stumble upon one of your favorite sites, you may be able to put it on your favorites. In social bookmarking, you'd be able to share it with various users. You could also use web feeds for new bookmarks so your readers will be aware of your new posts.
