Mmmmm....del.icio.us

Never heard of social bookmarking? Well, it's one of those new Web 2.0 crazes...and it makes a ton of sense. Social bookmarking allows you to store and share bookmarks (a.k.a. your "favorites") on the web, instead of inside your browser on just one computer. You can then access your bookmarks from any computer, anywhere, at anytime. Some popular social bookmarking sites are: del.icio.us, portaportal, digg, MyBookmarks, Yahoo!Bookmarks, and diggo. Social bookmarking is perfect for someone like me who has 279 bookmarks saved and uses various computers throughout the day at home, school, and work! Visit the social bookmarking sites above to see if it is right for you too...

What is Web 2.0 Anyway?

Web 2.0 refers to web-based communities in which collaboration is facilitated and sharing between users occurs. This takes place with wikis, blogs, social bookmarking, and similar online resources. The concept of Web 2.0 began with a 2004 conference brainstorming session between publisher Tim O'Reilly and MediaLive International. Some of the buzz words associated with Web 2.0 are "social networking" and "user-driven content." Some websites that have been considered Web 2.0 worthy are Wikipedia, flickr, del.icio.us, Google Docs, and this blog.
