Have you ever sent an email to a friend that included a link to a website you thought they might find interesting?  If you answered yes, then you have participated in social bookmarking.

With that, social bookmarking allows you to save links to web pages that you want to remember and/or share. This is made possible by simply tagging a website and saving it for later. However, instead of saving the websites to your web browsers, you are saving them to the actual web.

Not only can you save your favorite websites and send them to friends, but you can also look at what other people have found interesting enough to tag. This is made possible as many social bookmarking sites provide web feeds for their lists of bookmarks, including lists organized by tags. As a result, subscribers are enabled to become aware of new bookmarks as they are saved, shared, and tagged by other users.
