Social bookmarking is where individuals can store, search, organise and share their links to web pages of interest. Social bookmarks are usually public, but can be shared only with specific people or groups. Social bookmarking services such as Digg and reddit organise users’ bookmarks with ‘tags’ instead of traditional folder systems. Social bookmarking services also provide web feeds to directly notify subscribers of new content as soon as it has been added.
