For a lot who are still unfamiliar of the term social bookmarking, it is a method available online that allows users to store, organize, share and search bookmarks of particular web pages. Social bookmarking is perhaps the favorite way of many search engine optimizers in increasing the page rank for their websites along with attracting a greater number of traffic hits.
A social bookmarking site lets its members save specific links of interest and they get to share these links with other users or members of that social bookmarking site which are generally viewed in chronological order, in order of popularity, by selecting a specific tag or just randomly.
How Did Social Bookmarking Sites Emerge?
Internet users before had to bookmark the sites they want to remember in their browsers and sometimes, they had to make a list of the urls. These bookmarks or lists were personal to them and there was no way for them to share these to other users or friends over the Internet. However, by the year 1996, companies were launched paving way for social bookmarking to have its place in the Internet. By this time, users were able to share bookmarks of their favorite web pages online. But by the dot com burst in 2001, the efforts of these social bookmarking sites failed.
Later on, another company dedicated to the innovation of the services that social bookmarking sites offer launched its new bookmark sharing site with the added feature of arranging and finding bookmarks according to tags. This concept was quickly imitated by other companies and eventually led to a diverse array of social bookmarking sites online and not only that, more enhanced features were now introduced.
