The success and likely massive future growth
of social bookmarking isn’t just a
matter of blogs being “hip.”
It’s based on the very reasons why
people use the Internet and continues to
grow as an alternative means of information
organization. This new user-driven means
of categorizing and ranking resources is
fluid, flexible, non-hierarchical, democratic
and GROWING. It defies our usual expectations
about how people can find products and services
online.
Millions of people are abandoning traditional
search engines and directories in favour
of social
bookmarking services. Marketers who
ignore this trend do so at their own risk.
Not learning about social bookmarking is
nothing short of surrendering to a changing
online world.
Those who “get it” will undoubtedly
prosper. Those who don’t might just
find themselves expending more and more
effort competing for a shrinking portion
of the search engine pie. What makes matters
even sweeter for those in the know is the
fact that successful mastery of the social
bookmarking scene has search engine advantages,
too.
