Advantages and Disadvantages of Social Bookmarking
Social bookmarking is in an upswing as it provides a system for storing and classifying sites that is based on the vote of confidence by users themselves. The use of tags in social bookmarking is also very useful for those searching for useful sources of information. On the other hand, these tags are user-defined which means there are no standards in place. Also some tags are too personalized to be useful to other users. The systems can also be abused by spammers. As these problems arise, developers are forced to produce better social bookmarking sites with more functions.
