Web 2.0 sharing
Wednesday, February 7th, 2007
So what are those four little buttons on the right side of our content pages?
We decided to add four of the most popular tools for aggregating content (trust us, there are plenty more).
These “tagging†services let you, our reader, save the stuff you read on our website to your personal file.
If you have an account with either of the four services we set up (del.icio.us, digg, reddit or Facebook), and you want to save one of the stories you read on atlanta.creativeloafing.com, it’s as simple as clicking on the appropriate icon, and then submitting your link.
If you want, and most people do, you “tag†the story with your own keywords.
If you’re new to these tools, and don’t know what they’re for/how to use them, here’s a quick run-down.
They are all services for essentially the same thing, “saving†any page on the Internet that you come across to your personal file. You can access these services from anywhere since they are web-based, functioning as a dynamic favorites list.
Instead of adding a URL to your bookmarks on your browser, now you can save one of our stories to your del.icio.us, reddit, digg or Facebook profile.
Each service has a variation of what you can do with your saved pages, but in essence, that’s what they’re for.
