The concept of Social Bookmarking is to get your site indexed faster and to "insure" yourself that your content will be indexed first by the Search Engine because if someone else "steals" it and get's it indexed before yours does your site might get penalized for duplicate content.

Also, social signals (i.e comments, shares, likes, bookmarks) are now a part of the ranking algorithm of Google so if your site/content get's a lot of social signals you will (in theory) start ranking better.

As said above, when you bookmark your website on FB, G+, twitter and so on, it will get indexed faster (supposedly).

If you listen to officials, social signals are not a ranking factor, or at least not directly.  But they do take a part of the algorithm in another way.

What do I mean? Every time you use google, it remembers what you searched for and what results you clicked. And the next time you search for something similar it gives you a personalized search that took notice of your search history. It personalizes in other ways as well. If someone in your circles in g+ liked the business page of Product A on G+, Google will find it more relevant when personalized to you and will show you that page.

Another thing that social medias contribute to is they are a really easy way to get yourself direct traffic. The more traffic your site has, the more google think it is important and that's definitely a direct ranking factor.
