"A social bookmarking service is a centralized online service which enables users to add, annotate, edit and share bookmarks of web documents."
According to Christina Garcia, there are five reasons that bloggers should engage in social bookmarking:
Global Accessibility: You are given access to the bookmarks, regardless of what technical device that you use ex. computer, cell phone, etc.
Profitability: Social bookmarking increases your popularity. If you have a monetization program like Google Adsense, this leads to increased revenue.
Web Presence: Categorized bookmarking means the bookmarking service organizes and archives your favourite links. You may do this by tagging bookmarks with keywords. You will increase your web presence at the list of your favourite bookmarks and promote your brand (for more details, see http://alinefromlinda.blogspot.ca/2015/02/the-power-of-branding.html) at a collection of bookmarks with similar interests.
Share Inspirational Information: A social bookmarking service enables you to share inspirational information with your family, friends, co-workers or followers ex. updates, tips, safety concerns, book reviews or amazing recipes.
Higher Page Ranking: Your website or blog will be found faster by search engines if you make use of social bookmarking.
