A social bookmarking system has many advantages over traditional resource location. All classifications of the resources is done by actual persons or people. They understand the content of the resource, unlike the programmed softwares, which uses algorithm to determine the meaning of a particular resource. People tend to find and bookmark web pages that may not have been indexed by web spiders. In addition to that, social bookmarking system ranks a resource, based on the number of times it has been bookmarked by users rather than rank it according to number of external links. From the search data perspective, there is no standard set of keywords, no standard for the structure of tags, mistagging, unclear tags. Social bookmarking is also not immune to corruption. Due to its popularity, some users have started considering it as a tool to use for SEO or search engine optimization to make their website rank higher. Spammers use them also to tag the page multiple times.

Family members and businessmen shouldn’t be worried that they can’t reach their loved ones and associates in the Middle East and India. It’s not because of some political censorship or terrorist activity, but rather the reason is they’re no longer connected to the internet. They’re having a small problem: they have been disconnected because of two damaged undersea cables in the Mediterranean.
There was disruption to 70% of the nationwide network in Egypt, and India suffered up to 60% disruption.
UK firms such as British Airways have told the BBC that call centres have been affected by the outage.
Industry experts said it could take up to one week to repair the damaged cables and resume full service.
International telephone calls, which have also been affected, are being rerouted to work around the problem.
Repairs are on going as you read this. Hopefully full or partial services will be up within the week.
