Using Social Bookmarking Service
Before we understand what social bookmarking service is all about, we need to know what social bookmarking is in itself. Social bookmarking entails storing your bookmarks online as well as tagging them for future use. You can share your bookmarks with your friends, family and acquaintances and you can also opt to keep them private.
Today, using social bookmarking service is a great way to promote your blog or website. You can increase the number of bookmarks to your site through this service. To do this, you have to provide links to your visitors which also allow them to bookmark your site on their favourite social bookmarking service. Today, online bookmarking networks like Digg, StumbleUpon, and Bluedot are some very popular bookmarking service providers. How does one use them? Well, most of them are self explanatory in usage, so no problem on that account!
Gain From Social Bookmarking Service
In order to obtain the maximum benefit from social bookmarking service, you must have an understanding about how these services work.  Most social bookmarking services compete with each other for online membership, and as there are hundreds of them on the net, very few are truly worth it. A good bookmarking service should be judged on the basis of its size, popularity and quality of service. 
Sites that provide social bookmarking service are like workers that build a road. Yes, these sites also build a road map on the web based on the recommendations of web users. They make every web surfer who is an expert licensed to categorize and recommend all kinds of websites.
Social bookmarking services are considered a wonderful means to do online marketing. You can become a registered user and make a large membership list of like-minded individuals in just a few weeks. This can increase your number of potential customers to a great extent.
Features Of A Good Bookmarking Service

Import means bringing the old bookmarks from another online bookmarking service. The service should have feeds of tags. Last but not the least; a good bookmarking service should have a blog to allow the users to keep up-to-date with new features and more.
