MSDN Social Platform Feed Service
Un-official documentation
As you can see there is a 
RSS link on the "All Bookmarks" view. This is a link returning the most recent bookmarks added by uses to the Social Platform.
In this post I am going to explain the syntax on the REST feed service and the parameters you can pass the data you care about.
First lets start with the parameters that the Social Platform recognizes. The maximum number of items you can get from the Social Platform feed service is 100.

Description of the queries
The Social Platform feed service was written for developers. It uses polish notation , enabling you do create complex logical queries, through a REST interface
From the Social Bookmarks application you will find one link this brings back the default query which included both forum threads and social bookmarks:
RSS: http://servicescommunity.microsoft.com/feeds/feed/query/namespace/05666658-68ba-4d5f-83c4-a088015f92ce/eq/namespace/b22788b8-c8f1-4df3-aa44-1f457f092c93/eq/or
ATOM: http://servicescommunity.microsoft.com/feeds/feed/query/namespace/05666658-68ba-4d5f-83c4-a088015f92ce/eq/namespace/b22788b8-c8f1-4df3-aa44-1f457f092c93/eq/or?format=atom10
Let's break the REST call down
The base URI: http://services.community.microsoft.com/feeds/feed/query
First condition: /namespace/05666658-68ba-4d5f-83c4-a088015f92ce (ForumThreads)
first operator: eq
Second condition: /namespace/b22788b8-c8f1-4df3-aa44-1f457f092c93 (social bookmarks)
second operator: eq
third operator: or
Let's narrow the query by a tag condition.
/tag/technology/eq/and
Put it all together and here is a valid query:
http://services.community.microsoft.com/feeds/feed/query/namespace/05666658-68ba-4d5f-83c4-a088015f92ce/eq/namespace/b22788b8-c8f1-4df3-aa44-1f457f092c93/eq/or/tag/technology/eq/and
Example queries
- MSDN and Social Bookmarks
- Expression and Social Bookmarks
- Technet and Social Bookmarks
- Social Bookmarks tagged with csharp
