What is this?

YourHub.com is providing a way for you to save and share stories, events, and blog entries that you find valuable or interesting through various services that provide 'social bookmarking'. There are no fees associated with using these services, though each requires a brief registration process.

How do these services work?

On any story or blog entry on YourHub.com, you can click any of the links in the 'Save and Share' module. Doing so will submit the URL, headline, and a brief description of the content you're submitting to the service you've chosen. Users of that service can find the items you've submitted to read what you like on YourHub.com. This is just another way to get the word out! Write your own story, create your own event, or publish your own blog and submit it to the service of your choice.

Which one should I use?

The choice is yours! Join one or join all of them to find out which is the best fit.

(From the del.icio.us Web site)

del.icio.us is a collection of favorites - yours and everyone else's. You can use del.icio.us to:

• Keep links to your favorite articles, blogs, music, reviews, recipes, and more, and access them from any computer on the web.
• Share favorites with friends, family, coworkers, and the del.icio.us community.
• Discover new things. Everything on del.icio.us is someone's favorite -- they've already done the work of finding it. So del.icio.us is full of bookmarks about technology, entertainment, useful information, and more. Explore and enjoy.

del.icio.us is a social bookmarking Web site -- 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.

You can also use del.icio.us to see the interesting links that your friends and other people bookmark, and share links with them in return. You can even browse and search del.icio.us to discover the cool and useful bookmarks that everyone else has saved -- which is made easy with tags.

(From the digg Web site)

Digg is a user driven social content Web site Ok, so what the heck does that mean? Well, everything on digg is submitted by the digg user community (that would be you). After you submit content, other digg users read your submission and digg what they like best. If your story rocks and receives enough diggs, it is promoted to the front page for the millions of digg visitors to see.

What can you do as a digg user? Lots. Every digg user can digg (help promote), bury (help remove spam), and comment on stories... you can even digg and bury comments you like or dislike. Digg also allows you to track your friends' activity throughout the site — want to share a video or news story with a friend? Digg it!

(From the reddit Web site)

Reddit is a source for what's new and popular on the web -- personalized for you. We want to democratize the traditional model by giving editorial control to the people who use the site, not those who run it. Your votes train a filter, so let reddit know what you liked and disliked, because you'll begin to be recommended links filtered to your tastes. All of the content on reddit is from users who are rewarded for good submissions (and punished for bad ones) by their peers; you decide what appears on your front page and which submissions rise to fame or fall into obscurity.
