Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to share, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web resources. Unlike file sharing, the resources themselves aren’t shared, merely bookmarks that reference them.
In a social bookmarking system, users save links to web pages that they want to remember and/or share. These bookmarks are usually public, and can be saved privately, shared only with specified people or groups, shared only inside certain networks, or another combination of public and private domains.
The allowed people can usually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, or via a search engine.
WordPress has few best Social Bookmarking plugins which I want to mention here.
On Crunchify, we are not using any plugin but adding social sharing buttons without loading any JavaScript loading for faster page load 🙂
Here are my top favorite plugins.
