Digg and Del.icio.us are social networking sites that allow you to share articles or Web pages you’ve discovered with a wide world of people who may be interested.

Del.icio.us describes their service:

del.icio.us is a social bookmarking website - the primary use of del.icio.us is to store your bookmarks online, which allows you to access the same bookmarks from any computer and add bookmarks from anywhere, too. On del.icio.us, you can use tags to organize and remember your bookmarks, which is a much more flexible system than folders.

There’s also a great video from Common Craft explaining Delicious in plain English.

Digg describes themselves:

Digg is a place for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the web. From the biggest online destinations to the most obscure blog, Digg surfaces the best stuff as voted on by our users. You won’t find editors at Digg — we’re here to provide a place where people can collectively determine the value of content and we’re changing the way people consume information online.

Why are these links on the church Web site?

It’s simple.  When you click on a link to share a post, more people are driven to our church Web site where they can hear the life saving message of faith in Jesus.  Who knows, your simple click could have a far reaching impact in someone’s life.
