Uses:

Social bookmarking allows users to save links to web pages that they want to remember for the future and/or share with others. The stored bookmarks are usually public, but can be saved privately, or shared only with specified people or groups, shared strictly 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.
