December 6th, 2007

Imagine the next time you join a discussion about Travel
Social bookmarking. When you start sharing the fascinating Travel Social
bookmarking facts below, your friends will be absolutely amazed.

Social bookmarking continues to be one of the driving
forces of this evolving web, and as we forge ahead towards the semantic web
(otherwise dubbed Web 3.0) it will continue to play an important role and prove
an invaluable resource for independent publishers, businesses and even casual
web surfers.

Social bookmarking is all about labeling the web,
making it easier to find the content that you’re looking for by passing on what
you’ve found. The labels applied to web sites are commonly known as tags, and
over time a kind of taxonomy grows, whereby persistent tags help information to
be aggregated and mined for information.

specialists carefully categorizing items within their area of specialism, Social
bookmarking produces instead what has been termed a folksonomy.
