what's the difference between social bookmarking and web 2.0?

    I've been reading some articles recently about web 2.0 and social bookmarking. I was thinking how effective is web 2.0 or social bookmarking? For starters and newbies like me, where can I get free tutorial or more information about this? And for those who used this to promote their websites, can you share you stories about this? I am planning to incorporate this technique in promoting my newly launched website.

    Hi Ella (I apologize ahead of time if that's not your real name - just guessing from your username),

    To make a long story short, "Web 2.0" has nothing to do with design - it's just a means of sharing information about information online between computers. As for social bookmarking it's just another way of saying "I'm networking and meeting with like-minded people I admire, respect, and want to [insert objective here, such as "hang out" "conduct business" and so forth] with." You know, stuff that people have been doing for ages as it is.

    Here is very simplified but still relevant definition of Web 2.0:

    Basicaly, Web 2.0 is about how people share information and communicate online today - compared to few years ago it's a dramatic change.

    By the way, I've written pretty useful article about Web 2.0 at my blog. :)

    Hello, DP friends. This old guy (64) is not new to webmastering, but I'm quite new to social bookmarking. Lately I've been subscribing to and getting links to my website on such sites as Squidoo, Del.icio.us, Spurl, and others.

    My question as a social bookmarking newcomer: Do those links to one's website from, let's say, Squidoo really count as valued backlinks?

    Yes. At least I have stumbled (bought about 300 stumbles :D) one my site about month ago and the google accepted the backlinks 100%. So I think they should count as valued. ;)

    Thanks, riso. Green rep added.

    Any other advice on social bookmarking links' value? I've just started to dabble in the bookmarking and don't want to waste valuable work time if it's not really the big deal some make it out to be.
