I bet this question sounds like "What's the name of the president in the US?" to many of you.

But I really don't know.
- That is: I don't know what a Social Bookmarking site is!
Could someone make it clear please?

I of course know the name of your president!
- Tom Petty.

Social Bookmarking sites let members save bookmarks with tags to label these bookmarks. del.icio.us is one well known example.

The Wikipedia entry for "social bookmarking" provides a moderate amount of detail.

In other words making your bookmarks available to all.

Don't feel bad. Most people whose first language is English don't know what it means!

And even among those of us who do know what it means most don't understand what the heck it's all about anyway :)
