  3. What is Social Bookmarking? • Social bookmarking is the practice of saving bookmarks to apublic Web site and “tagging” them with keywords. • It is the practice of saving the address ofa Web site you wish to visit in the future on your computer.

  4. What is Social Bookmarking? • Tocreate a collection of social bookmarks, you register with a socialbookmarking site, which lets you store bookmarks, add tags ofyour choice, and designate individual bookmarks as public orprivate. • Some sites periodically verify that bookmarks still work,notifying users when a URL no longer functions.

  5. Who is using it? • Social bookmarking dates back just a couple of years, when siteslike Furl, Simpy, and del.icio.us began operating. • Social bookmarking is particularly useful when collectinga set of resources that are to be shared with others. • Anyone canparticipate in social bookmarking.

  6. How does it work? • Social bookmarking opens the door to new ways of organizinginformation and categorizing resources. • The creator of a bookmarkassigns tags to each resource, resulting in a user-directed,“amateur” method of classifying information. • Because socialbookmarking services indicate who created each bookmark andprovide access to that person’s other bookmarked resources, users can also see how manypeople have used a tag and search for all resources that havebeen assigned that tag.

  7. Implications of Social Bookmarking? • Tagging information resources with keywords has the potential tochange how we store and find information. • It may become lessimportant to know and remember where information was found. • More important to know how toretrieve it using a frameworkcreated by and shared with peers and colleagues. • Socialbookmarking simplifies the distribution of reference lists, bibliographies,papers, and other resources among peers or students.
