Information sharing

I recently started reading a book called "Wikinomics" how mass collaboration changes everything. I found the book to be extremely interesting. While reading this book, several websites are cited as examples to topics covered, this led me to a number of "social networking" sites including some social news & social bookmarking websites. Social networking is as it sounds, in this example websites where people go to socialize and network. The most popular of which are Myspace.com and Facebook.com. Social bookmarking was new to me and this is basically sites that offer a downloadable plug-in for your web brwoser that allow you to 'tag' sites or save sites you find interesting to a central location for anyone else out there in the WWW world who has also inctalled the same plugin. The most popular of these sites is del.icio.us (just type that into your web browser, it works.) I have since stumbled across a whole host of websites that provide a wealth of extremely useful, interesting, sometimes fascinating and even funny information from topics across the board. I thought I would share the most interesting sites I have come across up to this point. I hope you enjoy them as well!
