Digg is the place where everyday people like you and I can suggest and vote on the value of submitted content. For example, if you choose to “Digg” one of our articles, it’s up to the Digg community to determine the value of our content. The more people that Digg our content equals the more people our content is exposed to.

Delicious is a social bookmarking service that lets you bookmark and share your favorite sites on the web. The first thing I thought was “My web browser already has a bookmarks feature so what’s the big deal?” Well the key thing is Delicious allows you to share your bookmarks. Right now if I bookmark a site while at work, it’s only bookmarked on my computer at work. But what if I want to access this site once I get home or share it with some friends of mine? Well that’s where Delicious comes in hand! All of your Delicious bookmarks can be shared anytime and anywhere! You can also see what sites other Delicious users recommend. So if you think GCFLearnFree.org is delicious then let everybody know!

Have you ever wanted to give an article, video, photo,  or a website a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down?” With StumbleUpon you can do exactly that! Here’s how it works. When you log in to your Stumble account you choose different topics. For example, if I choose Music, then Stumble Upon will deliver numerous user submitted sites in their database that have something to do with music. It’s now up to me to rate these sites with a thumbs up or thumbs down. And it’s easy to do with the Stumble Upon tool bar that downloads to your browser when you sign up. So what’s your role in this? If you click on the above icon which appears at the end of each of our blog post, you are submitting that post to Stumble Upon. When someone stumbles upon us they get to rate us. We’re hoping that they give us a big thumbs up!
