Social Bookmarks v1 released

A few months ago we previewed a version of Social Bookmarks that enabled technical professionals to:

• store urls of interest to you
• share them with others
• explore what others share

Now we're ready to open it up even more.  With the new release of Social Bookmarks on MSDN, TechNet, and Expression new scenarios are enabled:

• Follow a person's bookmarks -- follow a bookmark feed of a specific person or a bookmark feed of a person by tag.  Put another way, this is tag drafting
• Bookmark on sites you own -- use our Social Bookmarks widget (English language for now, other languages in the weeks ahead) to make it easier for others to save your page as a bookmark
• Support for 11 new languages -- all to be rolled out in the next several weeks -- Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Czech, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish
• Import existing links -- from your browser favorites or from Delicious
• Browse other users -- see who else is bookmarking and follow their feed of bookmarks
• Report a bookmark -- if you see a bookmark that you believe to be questionable, report the item to Microsoft for review

We would not be here were it not for your feedback, and for the work of an incredible engineering team.  Thank you!  Congratulations to all involved!  Now get out there and bookmark :-)
