How to Use a Social Bookmark Site

These sites not only give you the opportunity to store your bookmarks online, they allow you to share these bookmarks with others. Why is that interesting? You�ll be able to get your bookmarks anywhere, plus you�ll get turned on to other sites you might never have found.

[edit] Steps

  1. Sign onto http://del.icio.us or http://www.connectedy.com and enter some of your bookmarks. Remember to tag them. (more on that below)
  2. Pull a �Post to Delicious� or �Add to Connectedy� bookmarklet onto your toolbar for easy submitting. This will enable you to put whatever site you are browsing at any time directly into your Del.icio.us file.
  3. Tags-These are not only the way you organize your bookmarks, they are the way others will use your bookmarks. For instance, if I want to bookmark http://www.g4tv.com, I might use tags like video games, television, tech, and news. Now, when others do a search for any of these tags, G4�s site link will show up.
  4. Of course, you may find many people will have tagged this link as it has advertising dollars pushing it. But a personal blog might only have a handful of people subscribed to their link. It is always interesting to check those poorly subscribed links. You might find a real gem. These often are sites that people are just discovering. Of course, you might find a useless time waster too, but it never hurts to check it out. Checking out other subscribers� links will keep you occupied for hours.


[edit] Tips

  • Remember, add as many descriptive tags as possible to your links. It makes your links more easily searched. Also, tags are separated by spaces, not commas.
