APN RSS Feeds

RSS (short for really simple syndication) is a way to receive regularly updated web content and gather it in one place for easy reading. Instead of constantly checking multiple blogs, news sites, podcasts and other sources throughout the day, one can subsrcibe to "feeds" with an RSS reader (often referred to as an "aggregator"), which will automatically keep itself updated with the latest developments as they happen. It's an efficient and pain-free method of keeping tabs on the world, and APN's feeds are a great place to start.

Clippings

The Clip It feature allows you to save the page you're reading to your own personal list of site links for future viewing. Go to the My Clippings link on the left hand column to view the list or remove links you are no longer want to track.

Bookmarking

When you find a particularly interesting story on PeaceNow.org, you can use the Bookmark button to save and share it with others. Here is a description of just a few of the most popular options. These services are all free, but some form of registration is required for each.

del.icio.us
del.icio.us allows you to bookmark a page and add tags, or descriptive keywords, to identify it. You can then share your del.icio.us page with colleagues and your saved bookmarks will be grouped with similary tagged pages from around the web.

Digg
When you "Digg" a story, it gets added to the site, where other users can Digg it themselves if they like it. When a page receives enough Diggs, it moves to the top of the list and gains more attention.

Reddit
Reddit works in a simliar fashion to Digg. You submit a page, other users vote up or down on it, and stories with the most positive votes rise to the top of the heap.
