| If you have you ever e-mailed friends and sent them a link to a website you thought they would be interested in, you have taken part in social bookmarking.
Social bookmarking is a method of saving and storing online data or websites for future use. Social bookmarking happens when users share their bookmarked sites via social bookmarking communities. Along with saving links to your favourite websites and send them to your friends, you can also discover what other people consider gripping enough to tag. The vast majority of social bookmarking websites let you look through topics that are either the most popular, or lately added, or belonging to a category.
With social bookmarking you can browse through what people have bookmarked by typing in a search tool the topic you are seeking. Actually, social bookmarking websites are used as intelligent search tools.
Social bookmarking allows you to target what you want to find. Instead of going into a search engine, typing something in, and then looking for that needle in a haystack, you can rapidly specify the topic you are looking for.
Since a lot of social bookmarking sites display recently added lists and popular links, you can both stay well-informed and get the required information. For example, if you are interested in global warming, you can search for global warming on one of these websites and discover two articles: the one with a hundred of votes and the other with several votes. The article with a hundred of votes is very likely to be chosen. And this technique is much simpler than typing "global warming" into a search tool and looking though pages of links that may be useless.
Thus, the software product initially used to email bookmarks to friends has rapidly turned into a social search tool.
Blog commenting is also increasing in popularity among Internet users now. Blog comments differ a blog from a regular website. It is the very social aspect that makes blogs such an effective element of the social web. When you share your blog posts through social bookmarking, you can boost traffic to your blog. Besides, when you browse through other users' bookmarks, you can find new blogs, new post ideas, new conversations to start, new communities to join for further networking and so on. Furthermore, you can become noted among other bloggers, with your blog growing in popularity.
The quality of comments is of importance. They should be informative. Short uninformative comments are considered spam and, therefore, deleted. Make comments stand out among thousands of others.
