If you like what you see on a site, many have a nice built in system that will allow you to easily share the content with others or promote it on your social networking areas.
Here at
DemystifyingDigital.com for instance, we have the user friendly "Add This" bar under every blog post and article. Look under this post and you will see this:

Roll over the real one at the bottom of this post and it will open to this:

Choose which sharing item you want to use. You can even click on the “more” link and it opens a ton of other places to promote the article or post. It’s a great way to post your favorite content you want to share with others to your Facebook or MySpace pages and Twitter too.
Click on the one you want to use for sharing content and it will take you to that site with the information, including URL, about the article or blog post you were on. It's really convenient.
If you don't have an account for the sharing or social networking site you choose, you will have to create an account to continue, but that's easy too. Then, fill in the rest of the information they ask and that's it.
For example if you want to share this post on
StumbleUpon, choose that site from the Add This menu below. It will open the StumbleUpon submit page with the URL for this post there. Just choose your category, write a short “review” of the post, choose No Adult Content, and then hit the bit green “thumbs up” button on top.
That's all there is to it. You are now social networking and sharing content easier than ever.
