New Social Networking/bookmarking Tools

[Rob]

as some of you may have notices there are some new buttons at the botton of each post. These are buttons used to tag threads/posts and have them posted to various netwroking sites

i encourage everyone to learn about them and use them as it will help drive more traffic to our community

here are the buttons you will see
- Digg
- del.icio.us
- technorati
- furl

[Rob]

anyone use these or find then helpful?
any sites missing?

very open to feedback here

[iglowce]

thanx for showing us =]

you're always a good mentor, rob

[Rob]

yeah, i set it up about 2 months ago, and i dont think anyones using them..
just making sure people knew what they were..

[Seahorsedreams]

I still don't think I know what they are.....

[Rob]

well basically the idea behind sites like Digg, is you find a page or article that you think is good, you "Digg" it.
this posts it up to the Digg.com website where its seen but millions of people that watch that site and its associated web feeds.

some one like me may be checking out Digg.com and see a topic on "coral" or something and say cool, i wanna check it out.

most of them work the same way, really its a way to spread good information and drive more traffic too our community

if you go do digg.com you will see a bunch of articles that have been "dugg" then people vote on them as to whether they are good or not the better the do the more publicity they get, and so on.
clear as mudd?
