If you like what you’ve read and would like to bookmark this page for later use and at the same time share the story with a wider online audience then why not use our new ‘Bookmark This’ feature. At the foot of every article we have included 3 ‘quick-link’ buttons. Each of these buttons will automatically take the address of the story and add it into some of the most popular social content network sites (sites where the importance of the content is rated by the users) on the Internet.

Each of these sites is a virtual community of users so to use the ‘Bookmark This’ feature you will be asked to register an account with each of them, the first time you visit. Once that’s done you can add as many of our stories as you want. To help you better decide which button best suits you, here is a brief description of each of the selected sites.

Digg.comDigg.com – Originally a technology site Digg had now branched out into covering a wider range of topics, including entertainment and business. Click the Digg button at the foot of an article to add the story and other community users will then Digg (rate) your selection. The more popular the story the higher up the page it will become. The more Diggs your story gets the higher it will appear in the ranking. Learn more.



del.ocio.usdel.icio.us – One of the most popular social bookmark websites. Dei.icio.us is a way of storing all your favorite web-pages and then sharing then with the other users of the del.icio.us service. Once you have added your page you can also add your own keywords, or tags, making the content of the page easier to find for all the other users. Learn more.
