Social bookmarking is an online service which allows users to add, annotate, edit, and share bookmarks of web documents.[1][2] Many online bookmark management services have launched since 1996; Delicious, founded in 2003, popularized the terms "social bookmarking" and "tagging". Tagging is a significant feature of social bookmarking systems, allowing users to organize their bookmarks and develop shared vocabularies known as folksonomies.

Delicious (website)
Delicious was a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks. The site was founded by Joshua Schachter and Peter Gadjokov in 2003 and acquired by Yahoo! in 2005. By the end of 2008, the service claimed more than 5.3 million users and 180 million unique bookmarked URLs. Yahoo sold Delicious to AVOS Systems in April 2011, and the site relaunched in a "back to beta" state on September 27 that year. In May 2014, AVOS sold the site to Science Inc. In January 2016 Delicious Media, a new alliance, reported it had assumed control of the service.
Models of collaborative tagging
Collaborative tagging, also known as social tagging or folksonomy, allows users to apply public tags to online items, typically to make those items easier for themselves or others to find later. It has been argued that these tagging systems can provide navigational cues or "way-finders" for other users to explore information.[1][2] The notion is that given that social tags are labels users create to represent topics extracted from online documents, the interpretation of these tags should allow other users to predict the contents of different documents efficiently. Social tags are arguably more important in exploratory search, in which the users may engage in iterative cycles of goal refinement and exploration of new information (as opposed to simple fact-retrievals), and interpretation of information contents by others will provide useful cues for people to discover topics that are relevant.

Thoughts on Bookmarking the Web - Henrique Dias
Yesterday I shared some atmospheric thoughts. One of the ideas was seeing which services do I use now that could be replaced. One of those is bookmarking. There’s two main contenders: Margin and Semble.
New post on the @cosmik.network blog: who ever heard of bookmarks that can help *shorten* your reading list? On how bookmarks, combined with social curation networks like @semble.so, can be much more than bookmarks - they can be sensors! blog.cosmik.network/sensors-not-bookmarks
Sensors, not just bookmarks [Patterns of Sensemaking #1]
blog.cosmik.networkthank you for sharing, I’ve struggled with manually creating and updating graze feeds too. Some ideas: - I wonder if curated bookmarks from @semble.so or are.na could be used as positive labels. These tend to not carry social signals and purely signal interest.
Hmmm, I was expecting semble.so to be something different I think I was expecting the to see a social backlink aggregator and exploration tool, but right now it seems more like social bookmarks
At Side Project Saturday (hosted by @val.town) I demoed a bookmarking service I'm building to learn more about ATProto and user-owned data. I've a bit stuck on bookmark lexicons and what belongs in a record. Thx to @awarm.space for suggesting I write down my questions donohoe.dev/2026/bookmark-lexicons-atprot…
What Is a Bookmark?
donohoe.devHi Sergio, cool! If that’s done I can maybe link to it from the kipclip tools page 👍 for tags I opted to keep it super simple. Since I can’t extend the bookmark record without changing it and the tags are one-to-many which makes direct references impractical tags are just standalone records in ..
