Submitting Articles

Social bookmarking and community-edited news websites such as Digg Delicious and Slashdot let their users share and discuss online content. Users can bookmark, comment or vote on stories and will read content based on the opinions of other members.

When you come across a story you think others would find interesting you submit a link to one of these sites, assigning it to categories or labelling it with tags (keywords). SourceWire’s Press Release Wire offers a "post to" facility for two of the most widely used sites to make it easy for you to submit stories you find interesting. We also provide further links on this page to other community news sites which you can use in a similar way.

Digg Submitting to Digg

Digg requires submitters to have an account – this is free and you can set one up here. Click the appropriate link on any press release on SourceWire and then choose a title, category and put in your own brief description. The article is then available to other users to "Digg", pushing it further up the Digg homepage as it gains more Diggs.

Delicious Submitting to Delicious

Delicious requires you to have an account, which is free – register here. Click the del.icio.us link on any press release on SourceWire and the URL, description and notes will be filled out for you to submit or to change to your own wording. You then add tags to help other users find the story. For example del.icio.us users bookmarking this release about the MySQL open source database chose tags like "mysql", "web2.0", "database" and "opensource" making it easy to find for other users searching for stories with these tags.

SlashdotSlashdot

Slashdot doesn’t require registration as it uses editors to decide if stories will appear on the site. To submit a story, just click the Slashdot link on any press release on SourceWire. The subject and description will be filled in, and you can change these if you wish. You must then choose a section and topic, and give your name and your email address if you choose.
