Social bookmarking services allows users to tag, save, manage and share web pages from a centralized source. With emphasis on the power of the community, Social Bookmarking greatly improves how people discover, remember and share on the Internet.

There are hundreds of options and services for keeping bookmarks online, each with a slightly different set of options and features. Here is a list of 20 - http://www.ebizmba.com/articles/social-bookmarking

 3 different types of social bookmarking sites that I use.

 StumbleUpon - random exploration of sites that others have marked as interesting, in subjects that I have marked as an interest.  Diigo - allows user to bookmark pages of interest but also annotate and highlight sections on the text for other to see.  Delicious - online storage of website, that also allows you to share with others and research what others have found under topics of interest.
