    Social networking is a phenomena defined by linking people to each other in some way. facebook, twitter, Digg is a popular example of a social network. It allows you to interact with people online in a social way that a website would not.
    Social bookmarking is the ability to save and categorize a personal collection of bookmarks and share them with others. For example you can post an article in your blog and then go to Stumble upon and bookmark it for everyone to read.

    That is actually quite easy. Social Bookmarking sites can be (but don't have to be) based on Social Network sites, while Social Network sites are individual sites that allow you to socialise between each other.
    On the social bookmarking site is it possible to bookmark favourite pages online and therefore allow it to share it with other people on the internet, e.g. Reddit, Digg, Stumpleupon, Delicouse. You or people can comment then on them and if wanted can befriend each other, while on Social Networking site, e.g. Facebook, Myspace, Linkedin, Xenu, Bebo..., the main reason is to connect with real friend and share news and favourit pages with them.

    Social networking is a marketing strategy where you can add friends and to join a group. Of course joining online community considered as a networking site also. Social bookmarking is is process where you can save your links and view your website links to public where people can click and read it.

    Facebook, friendster, twitter are Social networking sites. Social bookmarking sites are used by net users to store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web pages on the net. Examples are digg, stumbleupon and many others.

    One saves your favorite sites. The other connects you with your friends.

    Sometimes being simple can be really difficult. I needed 100 words to say the same as you did with 12. :)

    social networking sites are sites for you to make new friends, find your old friends, play games with them, chat with them on various subjects and also promote your business amongst your social circle. but in social bookmarking sites, you just recommend any particular webpage with your comments, amongst your followers, who in turn recommend the site to their followers along with their comments. the more your site gets recommended, the more valuable the link.

    For increasing targeted traffic social bookmarking is the best. While for increasing back links Social networking site would be good one.

    social bookmarking is like huge collection of your favorite sites which give you a chance to share it with other people. Social networking is a chance to interact, connect and communicate with people which shares same interest and other field. Great place to post personal and professional experiences, information, and even photos. It's like an online diary.

    you can even make friends in bookmarking sites but in social networking sites there is no option of saving ur bookmarked websites,. like facebook it deleted all the videos that people shared but in bookmarking sites this would never happen

    Social networking sites provide more interaction among members. while social bookmarking sites are solely for the purpose of increasing traffic to your website. Examples of social networking sites include: Facebook and twitter. And for social bookmarking: Reddit and Digg.

    Since we solved the problem between Social Bookmarking and Media side, should the question be now which of these two has more effect on rankings? Not just traffic but real hardcore rankings!

    Social Bookmarking and Social Networking are very similar. In social bookmarking sites you can promote your site by sharing content. In social networking like face book you can promote your site using fan pages and groups and discussion boards.
