Social bookmarking

Social bookmarking services are the new answer to endless searches. These can help for specific searches for information especially those that have many results in engines such as google. It helps to label the web and make our searches easier and quicker yet.

Folksonomy is the new power behind social bookmarking, powered by the people themselves. This online collaboration is a bottom up way of spreading information. It produces information that is being used and shared by normal people faster than it could be produced in the old world.

The systems used for social bookmarking continue to grow including, del.icio.us, digg, magnolia, blue dot, simpy, blog marks, reddit, etc.
