Team Ablewise is very proud to introduce the latest feature at Ablewise.com Classifieds Solution: Social Bookmarks!

A sample screen shot of our Classified Ads Page with Social Bookmark buttons

So what is social bookmarks you might ask? A detailed answer can be found at this wikipedia.org entry. To quote from the wiki enty:

In a social bookmarking system, users store lists of Internet resources that they find useful. These lists are either accessible to the public or a specific network, and other people with similar interests can view the links by category, tags, or even randomly. Some allow for privacy on a per-bookmark basis.

They also categorize their resources by the use of informally assigned, user-defined keywords or tags (see folksonomy). Most social bookmarking services allow users to search for bookmarks which are associated with given “tags”, and rank the resources by the number of users which have bookmarked them. Many social bookmarking services also have implemented algorithms to draw inferences from the tag keywords that are assigned to resources by examining the clustering of particular keywords, and the relation of keywords to one another.

Its increasing popularity and competition have extended the services to offer more than just sharing bookmarks, such as rating, commenting, the ability to import and export, add notes, reviews, email links, automatic notification, feed subscription, web annotation, create groups and social networks.

As we can see, the buttons will make the process of remembering interesting ads on Ablewise.com easier for the users. At the same time, savvy advertiser can social bookmark their own ads to the different social sites to increase their publicity. A win win situation for all for all parties that make use of our free classifieds service!

With this new feature, we at Ablewise.com Classifeds Solution believe that we are at a better position to bring more value to both buyers and sellers.
