Delivering HIV information to people through the tools they use.


Social Bookmarking

What is social bookmarking?

Social bookmarking is a way to store, organize, and search websites. You can save links to (or “bookmark”) web pages that you want to remember and/or share. These bookmarks are usually public, but you can choose to save them privately and share them only with specific people, groups, and networks.

Social bookmarking sites use “tags” or keywords to help organize your bookmarks. Tags also help people search bookmarks and find information. For example, if you were to tag this page, you might use the tags, “HIV”, “AIDS”, “Social Bookmarks”, “New Media”, “AIDS.gov”.

There are many social bookmarking sites, but some of the most popular ones are delicious Exit Disclaimer and diigo Exit Disclaimer. Others like digg Exit Disclaimer and reddit Exit Disclaimer allow you vote on or rate other people’s bookmarks.

Social bookmarking in response to HIV

  • Organize HIV resources and share them with your colleagues, clients, and friends.
  • Engage with others that are bookmarking and tagging HIV-related websites.
  • Subscribe to receive updates when an HIV website or article is tagged.
  • Provide opportunities for people to bookmark or tag your website and articles. (The “share this button” on this page is an example of how to do this.)
