What is Social Bookmarking?

"Share" swissinfo articles with Social Bookmarking

Have you read an article recently on swissinfo that you want to share with the world? Now you can with our new Social Bookmarking feature.
swissinfo readers can click on one of the buttons on the bottom of any article to link the story to a variety of bookmarking sites.

Social Bookmarking is a relatively new technology that has changed the way people experience the Web by allowing users to store, classify, rate, comment on and search links to any website or blog.

swissinfo offers bookmarking to Mr. Wong, Webnews.de, Digg, Yigg. del.icio.us, google, MyYahoo!, and Furl

Once an article is linked back to one of these sites, other users can then read it as well as post comments and related links. Instead of a search engine, you can find interesting links through a site’s community of users, thereby transforming navigation of the Internet into a “social” experience.

We encourage everyone to visit the sites listed above to learn more about their Social Bookmarking features. Each offers a similar but distinct interface to fulfil your net navigation needs. So start sharing!

In the near future, swissinfo will be integrating new features into the site to allow more interaction with our users.
