A
social bookmarking service is a centralized online service which enables users to add, annotate, edit, and share
bookmarks of web documents. Many online bookmark management services have launched since 1996;
Delicious, founded in 2003, popularized the terms "social bookmarking" and "
tagging". Tagging is a significant feature of social bookmarking systems, enabling users to organize their bookmarks in flexible ways and develop shared vocabularies known as
folksonomies.
