The big buzz word of Web 2.0 seems to be social. To be honest, I still can't bring myself to use a lot of these new social networking sites. However, there are a few sites out there I've begun to use and find tremendously useful.

Going along with this trend, I've decided to bring JIG into the fold. I've added a few minor features that will hopefully enhance your experience as a user, and also help to promote some of the articles on our website.

The first thing you may notice is the addition of a few options at the bottom of each post. Digg is a service that promotes stories based on how many people recommend (or digg) them. If you already use Digg, all you have to do is click on the link at the end of an article, and it will post it to Digg's site.

Next up is a link to del.icio.us. In it's simplest form, delicious is a way to organize your bookmarks online. There is a social aspect to it that allows users to share (and make popular) some of your own bookmarks. There are 2 new features on JIG in regards to delicious.

• Clicking on the del.icio.us link allows users to quickly add a JIG page to their bookmarks
• If you are a del.icio.us user and you want to submit a link of interest to the writers here at JIG, just tag any bookmark with the tag "for:jewsingreen". It will automatically pop up on our bookmarks and we'll check out the story.

Finally, there is flickr. For those that live under a rock, flickr is the largest photo repository on the web. JIG now has its very own flickr group. I've uploaded most of the photos from our gallery to the site, but the idea is that now it's much easier for all of you to share your photos with us. If you are a flickr user, just add any photos of interest to the "jewsingreen" photo group and we'll see it.

Enjoy! Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
