Social+Bookmarking

=Basics=
 *  Social bookmarking is the practice of saving bookmarks to a public website and tagging them with keywords.
 *  Gives user access to his/her personal bookmarks from more than one computer (i.e., not just the Favorites on one PC)
 *  Gives user access to bookmarks saved by other users
 *  Bookmarked sites are organized by ‘tags’ (keywords) – not folders; therefore, a multipurpose’ website you want to save isn’t being placed in just one folder.

=Social Bookmarking Sites=

These are two sites that were included on a previous training agenda. See each site and the resources below for more information.
