New way to suggest links to Racialicious

by Carmen Van Kerckhove

As you’ve probably noticed, I publish a post (almost) every day with links to various articles and blog posts on topics related to race, racism and pop culture.

Many of you email me suggestions for this post, which I really appreciate. But I wanted to let you know that there’s an even better way to suggest links to me.

There’s a service called del.icio.us that many of you may know about:

It’s a way to bookmark pages and keep your collection of bookmarks online, accessible from anywhere. But it’s also got some great ways to share your bookmarks with others.

If you already have a del.icio.us account, or if you’d consider signing up for one, you can simply tag a story that you want to submit to racialicious with the tag for:racialicious and it’ll show up automatically in my del.icio.us inbox.

The reason this is easier than email is that I actually use del.icio.us to automatically publish these links every morning. I bookmark things as the day goes on, and the following morning, those links I bookmarked get automatically published here as a post. That also means you can find all the articles we’ve ever linked to using this method on Racialicious’s del.icio.us page.

Of course, please feel free to continue emailing me stories instead – but for those of you who might already be using del.icio.us anyway, I thought I’d let you know. Thanks! :)

    Hi, this is a technical suggestion… Could you guys change it so that when I click on a link, it automatically creates a new window? That would be great and more convienent.

    Actually I do that for all links on this web site – which links were you talking about?
