Social Bookmarking/ A means for storing, organising, searching and managing favourite sites
on the web/ Organisation is based on ‘tags’ or key words (individual or group)/ Bookmarks are listed chronologically, by category or tags, or via a search
engine./ RSS enabled – subscribers can become aware of new bookmarks as
they are saved, shared and tagged by other users./ Newer tools have a range of other features such as ratings and
comments on bookmarks, the ability to import and export bookmarks from browsers, emailing of bookmarks, web annotation, and groups or social networking features
