Social Bookmarking for Baby Boomers-What is BibSonomy?

This entry is part 4 of 10 in the series Baby Boomers and Social Bookmarking Can You Digg it?

Now itistime to look at a social bookmarking site called BibSonomy. According to their site description:

BibSonomy is a system for sharing bookmarks and lists of literature. When discovering a bookmark or a publication on the web, you can store it on our server. You can add tags to your post to retrieve it more easily. This is very similar to the bookmarks/favorites that you store within your browser. The advantage of BibSonomy is that you can access your data from wherever you are. Furthermore, you can discover more bookmarks and publications from your friends and other people

You can register and start working with this unique site but the best way, I feel, to really get to know it is visit the the BibSonomy blog.

So, I challenge only the daring and adventurous baby boomers reading this post to explore this social bookmarking site if you are serious about social bookmarking. PS, invite like-minded friends to join from work and organizations.

This is a review done by CNET a few years ago:
