A New, Easy Form of Israel Activism Is Born
A new form of activism is now being initiated by Israel National News which takes less effort than going to a demonstration, writing a letter to the editor, or the ultimate move - aliyah (immigration) to the Land of Israel. At the bottom of every Israel National News article, a "Share" icon appears. The icon means that when you read a cool or powerful article about Israel, you can, with the simple click of a button, recommend it to literally millions of others.
How does it work? A series of sites has sprung up in which you, the internet public, can move stories to the top slots by recommending them. The most popular site of this kind of site is Digg.com. Other sites listed in the "Share" button are good venues for activism as well, especially Delicious, Linked-In, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Technorati and Newsvine.
