It's in the LinkBag

LinkBag is a social bookmarking website—the primary use of LinkBag is to store your bookmarks online, which allows you to access the same. LinkBag is a social bookmarks manager. It allows you to easily add sites you like to your personal collection of links, to categorize those sites with keywords, and to share your collection not only between your own browsers and machines, but also with others.
  • Bloggers can add links to their posts enabling LinkBag users to post that link to their list of bookmark—this can promote your links as they are getting exposure in the LinkBag ‘recently bookmarked’ list.
  • LinkBag is free to join.
Exploring LinkBag
  1. Go to the LinkBag homepage.
  2. Click on ‘linkblog‘ to see items recently bookmarked by other LinkBag users. This is a ‘real-time’ list of online stuff being cataloged by thousands of LinkBag users.
    You’ll notice that LinkBag is still pretty ‘tech heavy.’ Much like blogging, the early-adopters of social bookmarking are folks who aren’t skittish about techie stuff. That’s why we gotta get ‘real people’ involved!

So, now that you’ve bopped around LinkBag as a casual observer let’s get you in the mix—

How to Get Started Using LinkBag

  1. Create a LinkBag account. Register here
  2. Add a ‘browser button’ to your web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari). Here’s how… When you see something you want to bookmark, click on the browser button and you’ll be able to automatically add that bookmark to your LinkBag bookmarks list. You can also tag that bookmark with keywords to allow you find it faster at a later date.
