It is used in web-based communities and hosted services like social networking sites, video conferencing and sharing sites, wikis, blogs and tagging. Web 2.0 websites allow their users to do more than just view information. Users interact with web 2.0 sites in many different ways - such as uploading photos, leaving comments on blog sites, sharing videos, sharing book marks, tagging great info and more! Some of the most popular web2.0 applications on the internet are: www.digg.com www.youtube.com www.flickr.com www.bloglines.com www.twitter.com www.facebook.com www.myspace.com Social Bookmarking Social bookmarking is a method for the internet users to store, organise, search and manage their bookmarks of web pages on the internet with the help of metadata. In a social bookmarking system, users store links to the web pages that they want to save and share. These bookmarks are usually public although they can be saved for private viewing only.
