The information age has changed text, research, knowledge, social communication and all other kinds of verbiage from cups of water housed in the walls of institutions to an ocean without any normal boundaries. This mass of information has caused individuals to be confused or even lost in its immensity. This frustration had to address. Bookmarks were created so that the spoonfuls of information that was once retrieved could be retrieved once again. Individuals could now relax with doing their personal research. Other questions were now being asked. Is there better or more complete information available out there? Have I missed some area or issue dealing with my topic of research? I know there are others along the shoes of this technology giant who are interested in the same topic or have already completed and have a better understanding of this topic. How can I find this research? These questions were answered by the creation of tags. Categories where these spoonfuls of information housed and retrieved not only by the individual who placed it there but by all who were interested. So what is now launched is what is coined as social bookmarking. A collaboration of that would cross all social ad intellectual walls.
