Social Bookmarking Phenomenon Growing Strong

by Teresa Valdez Klein on August 11, 2006

The latest analysis from Hitwise indicates that traffic to the social bookmarking site Delicious has more than doubled since Yahoo! acquired it late last year.

At BlogHer this year, Marnie Webb and Charline Li presented about social bookmarking among other things. They really enlightened me to the value of using these types of sites for research when I’m working on an intricate post. It’s definitely become very useful for me, because not only can I save links I find interesting, I can find out who else liked those same links, and then see what other links they found interesting.

I can only imagine what would have happened if I’d been using Delicious this way while I was doing research for papers in college…
