Social+Bookmarking

=Social Bookmarking=

Social Bookmarking is a great way to start creating connections. By sharing your favorite links with a group, and having other people share theirs with you, you start to build a web of connections as you develop a set of interesting web resources at the same time.

There are several useful sites for managing your bookmarks, but the most popular and useful right now seems to be Diigo. As well as allowing you to securely save and store your favorite websites, Diigo offers web highlighting, group sharing and more.
