This document provides an introduction to social bookmarking. It discusses how social bookmarking allows users to filter and manage information, create a collaborative network of information sharing through tagging bookmarks, and create their own categorization system through folksonomy. Key aspects of social bookmarking services like Delicious are explained, including storing bookmarks online, tagging them, sharing them, and subscribing to bookmarks through RSS.
