Share and Enjoy: the new buttons appearing at the foot of our stories

By | Fri 19th September 2008 - 12:50 pm

You may have noticed a new set of buttons appearing at the foot of stories on Liberal Democrat Voice (thanks Ryan!).

These buttons allow you to share our stories on some of the most popular social bookmarking sites, such as Digg and Del.icio.us. (What is social bookmarking? It’s a way of saving links to stories that you like, but in a way which lets your friends also see what you’ve saved – and in turn you can see what has caught your friends’ fancy. The BBC site has a neat short introduction to the topic.)

In order to bookmark a story on Digg or Del.icio.us you have to have registered first on their site, but there’s no cost as these are all free services. (The party also uses Del.icio.us for our collection of the latest Nick Clegg media coverage.)

There are also buttons to share a story on Facebook, on Twitter or to just email it to a friend.

So if you love or hate a story – please use the buttons to help publicise our stories.

    “Share and enjoy” used without irony.

    That’s it. The world is now officially run by a post-Douglas Adams generation. I feel old.

    I remember the Share and Enjoy song. The original TV programmes were a favourite in our household (well, me & my dad anyway).

    Absolute genius, & the man was a firm opponent of religion & a friend of Richard Dawkins. His science was impeccable.

    I never watched the film 🙂

    I liked the film but then I went in with no expectations. I think they did a decent job

    How old does someone have to be to be post-Douglas Adams? I’m 23, & I don’t think many of my contemporaries were ever into him. But I don’t think he was ever popular amongst the masses, though there’s probably a much higher than average concentration of fans in the LDs 😀
