InformationWeek | at | by Mike

A Microsoft official said the company next month plans to introduce a preview version of Social Bookmarks, a tool that lets users tag and share their favorite Web pages with friends and colleagues, for members of its MSDN and TechNet professional networks.

The preview version will not offer full functionality, but will allow users to bookmark any URL on the Web, apply tags and save bookmarks using a feature called My Bookmarks, Microsoft's John Martin said in a blog post.

"All bookmarks, bookmarkers and tags will also be enabled as links that can be 'surfed' to discover new content and people," said Martin.
