Some people use the Web in order to find certain information that are related and relevant to their field of expertise and specialty.

people would organize their bookmarks of online resources using folders in the Web browser, an inefficient way of organizing since people may need to save a resource that is relevant to a number of categories, thereby saving the bookmarked online resource in a number of different folders. This can be a bit difficult to handle, especially if people need to find the references that they have saved in order to send it to other people through e-mail.

The idea of organizing and managing links systematically rather than just listing them on a given web page have emerged recently and lead to the existence of the word “Tags” and a lot of social bookmarking websites that depend on Tags to arrange topics perfectly and make it easier to post and share your topics.

The beginning of the social networking was through user-generated content like web forums, personal website, sharing files,… etc. Over time the continuity of using Web 2.0 saw the emergence of social networking, social marketing, and blogs amongst others.

In Social Bookmarking, People can see who created each bookmark on a particular topic or subject in a particular Web page or website, as well as allows the other persons to have easy access to your bookmarked resources or references. Aside from this, its users can also see all the other users who have used a particular tag or keyword, allowing them to search for all relevant resources and references about the same topic or subject.

Now that social bookmarking is possible, people are now able to create a web of resources and connections without being limited in its applications and operations as people would be when they did not use social bookmarking. People could also use these bookmarking sites not only to save their favorites but to share them with an endless number of friends and promote their own websites as well.
