Social Bookmarking

[This is part of a series on Web 2.0 Business Networking]

Sites like Delicious () provide us with a way to share our favorite links and blog posts with others. Instead of adding a ‘favorite’ to your browser, you create a bookmark in your Delicious account. You can then make your list public to others and see how many others have also bookmarked a particular resource.

Items that get a lot of bookmarks rise up in popularity and gain exposure on the website.

Digg () allows users to add stories to the site so that other users can give it a vote of confidence (digg it) and if it gets enough diggs, it rises in popularity and hopefully reaches the main page. Top stories get discussed on the popular Diggnation podcast.

OnlyWire (http://www.onlywire.com/) has a large list of social bookmarking sites and provides you with a way to add items to all at once if you have accounts with them.

Now for the external. Social Bookmarking
