Social bookmarking is a way to store and share bookmarked web sites online. These services allow you to not only bookmark a website, annotate it, but also see who else and how many others are bookmarking that same site. Additionally, these social bookmarking services have RSS feeds, so that new bookmarks are updated and available in an aggregator. Bookmarks can be organized in categories for easier navigation.

I’ve been using FriendFeed for awhile and if you subscribe to my feed you’ll see just about everything that I do online. My feed includes all the articles I bookmark with delicious. When I write a new blog post it automatically shares it on my feed. Every time I tweet on Twitter and when I update my status on Facebook, they’re included here. When I add a video to my favorites on YouTube it is shared here as well. Currently there are 58 different sites that you can link to your FriendFeed, so it’s like the one stop shopping place for everything online!

FriendFeed also has a search function where someone without even registering on the site, can easily search all FriendFeed updates.

Facebook has been in the news quite a bit this week which they started off with the announcement that they have acquired the social-identity aggregator, FriendFeed.
