Social bookmarking is one of the most exciting features of Web 2.0 technology. Web sites that make it possible to use the social bookmarking feature are called Social-bookmarking sites. These Web sites allow users to store, tag, and share links among friends and others who have similar interests across the Internet. In addition, users can access their favourite links from any computer, at anywhere and in any place.
- Bookmark and Share our articles
Although most social-bookmarking sites are free to use, people are required to register before they can start bookmarking. TechSling, like many other modern Web sites today, is also taking advantage of this technology by providing links to Bookmark and Share our articles with others through by placing a social bookmarking link at the bottom of every article (see picture above). You can therefore take advantage of this amazing feature by simply clicking on one of these links to add to the list of interesting articles you want to save for future reference or share with others.
