Title: Networking "Links" Section
Post by: susan silva on August 26, 2009, 10:13:54 am
I want to take a minute and just point out one of the many new sections of the Networking area.  The last tab on the sub nav bar is titled "Links."   The links section is a place where you can post news items from online newspapers and helpful sites (as always, sites similar in nature to DeskDemon will be removed).   It is a great place to share the latest news and keep up on some topics you may not read about.   I personally am posting Admin/PA related news.  I had done this in the "Groups" section, but this a much better spot for it.  When I come across and PA or Admin that is mentioned, I post a link. 

Take a look and when you see that article you would like to share, take a minute and submit a link.  It is very easy to do.

I like it!  One quick question though, what are the thumbs up and thumbs down for?

My thoughts would be that they are for "ranking" the link's information... ie, if you like it you give it a thumbs up but if you thought it wasn't worth the time to read, you give it a thumbs down.  Nothing official, but kind of like on Facebook where you can like or dislike someone's post/comment.

It came with the program.  I see it as if you like the article or not, maybe if you disagree with it or not, etc.
