Social Bookmarking is like having a favourites page out there for the world to see.
There are various sites that you can use to tell other people what sites or pages you like. It's also a way for you to hold private bookmarks which can be great if you're using a public computer and want your favourite bookmarks saved (but not neccesarily to allow anyone else to see your bookmarks.)

Social bookmarking is also a great way for you to see what other people find interesing or worthy of being bookmarked.
When you bookmark something, you can create an associated tag with it so that if someone wants to search on that particular subject, your contribution isn't only viewable if someone clicks on your profile but also by that category.
If someone were to file this particular article under the tag 'bookmarking' my article would appear in a list for someone doing a search based on bookmarking.
Tagging and bookmarking are a great way to get your own articles or favourite websites seen. I use it on my blogs and on websites that I find interesting.

I like using social bookmarking aggregators such as onlywire.com which bookmarks multiple bookmarking sites at one.
With a few clicks, it bookmarks my entry on the following social bookmarking sites all under my username and with tags designated by me:
(backflip,blinklist,blogmemes,del.icio.us,feedmeli nks,Furl,Linkroll,Looklater,mag.nolia,
maple,markaboo,rawsugar,Shadows,Simpy and Wink)

To use an aggregator, you'd have to visit each of these sites individually and register for each of them. This can take a bit of time but once its' done you can reap the rewards.

On precharge, social bookmarking tools are built into the site and can be used to help promote the threads you like on this site.
When viewing a thread, there is a pull down menu called "Bookmark Thread" Here, you can choose from the many sites listed. You need to have a membership to these sites in order to participate.
Many of these sites index your pages in Google or Yahoo so be aware of this excellent tool if working on promoting your name or sites you are interested in.

If anyone has questions, I'd be happy to try to help

No that's for posting on other sites. The referal link you want to use on your friends or on your own website is located in your User CP on the left where it says buddy system. Just click there and you will see your referal link.

Thank You

Thanks, Diddy1...btw anyone who thinks it's too much work to register for all or any of these, it's really not and you'll definitely be pleased that you did afterwards.

You can use as many as you like, or as few as you like. I use del.icio.us and The News Vine.

Yes, you can pick and choose.
If you use a social bookmarking aggregator you'd simply check off the ones you want to submit to.
It's a bit of work to sign up for all of them but it's a great way to bring hits to your blog or website, or to this forum ;)

[n.b.]

Social Bookmarking sites always helps to get visitors to a blog or website especially in the initial days of its making when the blog/site is in Google Sandbox.
