Social BookmarkingFirst there was RSS Feeds, which enabled you to read and keep up with content from other websites, now there is a new way of sharing these discoveries - Social Bookmarking...
Google definition of Social Bookmark:
Social bookmarking is an activity performed over a computer network that allows users to save and categorize (see folksonomy) a personal collection of bookmarks and share them with others. Users may also take bookmarks saved by others and add them to their own collection, as well as to subscribe to the lists of others."

There are a few websites where you can see what other users have highlighted for public viewing:

Examples:
  • http://del.icio.us/ (The originator, recently bought out by Yahoo!)
  • http://digg.com/ (More technology focused. Users review the submitted links and if they like it they "digg" it, which pushes the story up the list or onto the front page)
  • http://www.blinklist.com/ (Similar to/a copy of digg)
  • http://diggdot.us/ (Recommended. It consolidates all the links from Digg, del.icio.us and Slashdot and users vote on the links. Again more tech focus.)


There are also sites that work in a similar way, but with "tags" (keywords entered to help when searching for a subject) Example: A news item about Nirvana would be tagged with "music" "Nirvana".
