del.icio.us is a social bookmarking website -- the primary use of del.icio.us is to store your bookmarks online, which allows you to access the same bookmarks from any computer and add bookmarks from anywhere, too.

Social bookmark, two words, social meaning in a community of people and bookmark meaning a recording of a URL of a website which allows easy access for the future. It is basically a community where people share whatever URLs of websites they have saved to other members of that community and to the public as well. You may then ask, what then is the significance of joining such communities and why is there a need to share your bookmarks to the public.

For bloggers and Internet marketers, a website or a blog is not complete without a bookmarking tool that may be used by readers of their blogs and websites, to make it easy for the reader to save some of the contents in their blogs and websites. I will not be giving a social bookmarking tutorial here, but rather provide you with information about the neccesity of social bookmarking. Aside from just saving these URL's, there are other important reasons why we need to social bookmark:

First, the accessibility and public display of the tags that you create, makes it easy for you to search for items of the same tags which may help you when you are doing some kind of research work or related readings. If you are the blog or website owner, tags will help you every time Internet users search on the search engines.

Second, social bookmarking is fast becoming an indicator of popularity for a website. Notice that most blogs now have a link which says "bookmark this" after every new blog post. This is used by the blog owner not only to encourage readers to bookmark their post but also used by the blog owners themselves to bookmark their own posts. Yes blog owners have indeed found it to be an effective way to promote their own blogsites by bookmarking their own posts. This also increases their page rank, which helps improve their placement at search engine results and as a result, drives more traffic to their blogs.

Third, it saves you from losing sites if just bookmark using your PC browsers, in case your PC gets infected with a virus or your hard drive crashes down. This online service is for free anyway, so there is no reason why one must not take advantage of it.

Fourth, bookmarking sites are user friendly. It is practically easy to create an account and start saving URLs that you want to store in your data.

Because of the wonders of technology, every business in the planet are now building their own websites in the Internet, which means there is competition everywhere, and the only way to get an edge over your competitor is to understand and learn how to social bookmark. Do not to it tomorrow, next week or next month, but do it today for you might never know what edge you are giving your competitors if you don't take action.
