Social Bookmarking Social bookmarking sites are a popular way to store, classify, share and search links through the practice of folksonomy or tagging techniques on the Internet or Intranet. Social bookmarking has three key benefits: •  Access your bookmarks anywhere •  Share your bookmarks with friends  and colleagues •  See what others are bookmarking by  way of interesting tags
Tags A tag is simply a word you use to describe a bookmark. Unlike folders, you make up tags when you need them and you can use as many as you like. The result is a better way to organize your bookmarks and a great way to discover interesting things on the Web. Examples of tags: school, outdoor, Louisiana, math
Del.icio.us* is an Example of a Site that Uses a “Folksonomy” to Organize Bookmarks Tags: Descriptive words applied by users to links. Tags are searchable My Tags: Words I’ve used to describe links in a way that makes sense to me  A  “folksonomy” is a spontaneous, collaborative work to categorize links by a community of users. Users take control of organize the content together.
