The 5 Most Popular and Effective Social Bookmarking Sites
1. del.icio.us is a social bookmarking site that has rapidly taken off even more in popularity since being purchased by Yahoo. del.icio.us is probably the most used out of all these top picks, particularly to post interesting sites that have been found around the Web. You can also subscribe to quite a few del.icio.us tags, such as popular and reference, and all the sites tagged with these keywords in a RSS reader of choice, Bloglines.
2. Digg is social bookmarking and social networking gone a little crazy due to the fact that anyone can submit a Digg (site), and then anyone can comment on those same Diggs. The most interesting feature of Digg has to actually be the comments on the sites and stories, since the Digg community is not shy about letting folks know how they feel about a particular Digg. Primarily focussed on geeky, technology-type items.

3. Reddit is a social bookmarking Web site that works much like Furl and del.icio.us: you register a username and password, and then start submitting and sharing your bookmarks. Reddit is similar to del.icio.us in that users are encouraged to vote on the links and stories that they feel are deserving of being in the top dog spot: it’s kind of a popularity contest, so to speak.
4. Furl gives users the ability to save copies of any Web page, search within your own personal archive of Web pages, and share what you find. People use Furl to create their own personal shopping lists, real estate directories, job searches, student research papers, etc. This may just sound like a fancy way of saying bookmarks; but the thing about Furl is that you can access it from any computer, which means that your Favorites will go with you.
5. The beauty of StumbleUpon, : you are able to take advantage of a vast network of dedicated Web searchers who are finding utterly brilliant sites and sharing them with you. StumbleUpon is an incredibly addicting way to search the Web. People have found themselves up till 1:30 AM blearily clicking the Stumble! Button over and over again, because the quality of the sites are just so amazing; you just keep on coming across stuff that instantly merits a bookmark of your own.
