In an effort to promote the BBC as the place to go for news and to attract a younger more in touch audience the BBC seems to have tapped into the web 2.0 phenomenon of social bookmarking allowing user to submit their articles to Digg, Facebook, Reddit, Del.icio.us and Stumble Upon.



This really does show that tools like del.icio.us are now being accepted in mainstream society as the increase in people online continues.



Go on any BBC article (bbc.co.uk) to see the new functionality.
