We launched some new tools on our stories late yesterday. Perhaps you noticed them?
Next to Comment and Print, you’ll now find buttons for Facebook, Digg and Delicious — three social networks that to greater and lesser degrees allow Internet users to tell friends or the whole world about a story they like.Perhaps the most widely used, Facebook is a broader social networking tool that allows users to make friends, post photos, videos and more. Stories that are posted on Facebook show up in a users’ news feed.Delicious allows users to bookmark a Web site link for the world to see. It also allows you to see what Web sites — or in our case, stories — a friend has also bookmarked.And that brings us to Digg — known around the office as the source of nearly 50,000 hits on that hedgehog story. Digg is a way to tell other Internet users about a story you found particularly interesting. We’re hoping to expand those tools to KUSports.com and other areas of our sites in the future. For now, please take advantage of the new story tools and tell others about what you’re reading or watching.
