| If you have you ever e-mailed friends and sent them a link to a site you thought they would find absorbing, you have dealt with social bookmarking.Social bookmarking is tagging of a website and storing it for future reference. Instead of saving them to your web browser, you are saving them to the web. And, because your bookmarks are online, you can easily share them with friends. Along with saving links to your favourite websites and email them to your friends, you can also look at what other people consider absorbing enough to tag. Most social bookmarking sites let you look through topics that are either the most widespread, or lately added, or belonging to a certain category.You can even read through what people have bookmarked by typing in a search engine the topic you are interested in. In fact, social bookmarking sites are used as smart search tools.Social bookmarking tools are designed to optimize the search on the Internet. You do not need to page through thousands of results to find what you are interested in. Now, you can merely go to a social bookmarking site, select a category or tag and find the most popular websites.Since many social bookmarking websites show lately added lists and popular links, you can both stay informed and see relevant information. For instance, if you are interested in global warming, you might look for global warming on one of these websites and find two articles: the one with a hundred of votes and the other with a couple of votes. The article with a hundred of votes is very likely to be chosen. And this technique is much easier than typing "global warming" into a search tool and browsing though pages of links that may be useless.So, the software package initially used to send bookmarks to friends has rapidly turned into a social search engine.Blog commenting is also growing popular among Internet users nowadays.
