Until not long ago, when you surfed the web and you came to a page of your liking, or useful information, you would use the bookmarks or favorites in your navigator to organize your online sources. But as Internet integrates itself more in our lives, that practice of saving favorites is not productive. If we file something in our archives but one of the resources serves a purpose in more than one field, we must save it various times, one for each are of interest. And also, if you need to count on that “data” and you travel, you won’t have it saved on your personal computer, for example.
That is where the concept of social bookmarking arises, which means make your favorites public on an online platform instead of having them on your computer, and access them from anywhere that has an internet connection. You can also share your “favorites” with anybody that is interested in the same topic, and of course benefit from the findings of others.
