How Does Social Bookmarking WorK?
The creator of a bookmark assigns tags to each resource, resulting in a user-directed method of classifying information.
Because social bookmarking services indicate who created each bookmark and provide access to that person’s other bookmarked resources, users can easily make social connections with other individuals interested in just about any topic.
Users can also see how many people have used a tag and search for all resources that have been assigned that tag. This makes research a collaborative effort.

Why is Social Bookmarking
Significant?EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (2005) explained, “These kinds of tools also encourage users to keep coming back because the collections of resources keep changing.
It’s easy to imagine assigning value for individual resources, resulting in a ranking system that functions as a collaborative filter” (p.2).

What are the implications for teaching and learning?
Tagging information resources with keywords has the potential to change how we store and find information.
It may become less important to know and remember where information was found and more important to know how to retrieve it using a frame- work created by and shared with peers and colleagues.
Social bookmarking simplifies the distribution of reference lists, bibliographies, papers, and other resources among peers or students, and reference lists.
