The Next Level of Social Bookmarking

Many people are familiar with the concept of social bookmarking sites. You set up an account and consolidate all your online bookmarks in one place. You’re able to pull together bookmarks from all your different computers, browsers, and even those you’ve saved in emails or chat logs. Best of all, you know that when you find a new site or video that you want to save, there’s just one place you need to save it.

The biggest advantage of these virtual favorites manager s is that you can organize and tag every bookmark in multiple categories. This means that instead of being limited to a single folder or subfolder name, you can easily sort and search all your bookmarks by multiple subject tags or keyword phrases.

The latest developments in social bookmarking are about integration. First you can now use smartphone apps to access and update your bookmarks, meaning you don’t even need a computer to find a site you saved. Best of all, bookmarking sites are now offering the ability to post your shared URLs to social network sites, which means that you can easily save a bookmark and then share it with your friends through twitter, facebook, or other networking site.
