Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web pages on the Internet with the help of metadata, typically in the form of tags that collectively and/or collaboratively become a folksonomy. Folksonomy is also called social tagging, "the process by which many users add metadata in the form of keywords to shared content" (Definition from Wikipedia).
In short, another way to share your stories with your friends you have on facebook, twitter, MSN live, Linked in etc, etc. If you are like me, you probably have 2 sets of friends, professional relations and "everyone else with whom you don't mind sharing pictures from your last vacation". So why isn't there a single site or an "add on" where you can manage all your social bookmarking needs. So all you do is pick one of the 2 lists and hit "Go".
May be there is, may be not. At least something to think about.
