Hi,
Social bookmarking is a Web-based service where users can create and store links. It is an increasingly popular way to locate, classify, rank, and share Internet resources. While Web browsers have the ability to bookmark pages, those links are tied to that browser/computer.
Social bookmarking, on the other hand, is tied to an online account, which can be publicly or privately accessible. Based on the viewing properties and tags/categorization, these bookmarks can be shared and discovered by others. It is a way to share news, sites, and much more with a broader audience. Examples of social bookmarking sites are: del.icio.us, Digg, Furl, My Web, Reddit.
