See below for instructions on how to get one and what to do with it. (If this is all new to you, just start with one of the top three and go from there.)

Digg
Digg is a news site that allows its users to help rate (known as "digging") articles and posts from around the web. The more diggs something gets, the higher up on the front page (and therefore more visible) it becomes. Get your digg account
here. When we post links here, we'll include a "digg it" link; all you need to do is click on it and then once you're there, digg the item. If you want to put in comments as well, that's even better!
Facebook
Facebook is a social networking site that allows friends to connect to each other. Open your Facebook account
here. Join us at our Facebook
groups and our Facebook
page. For Facebook 101, see
here. And always remember that too many links in Facebook can get you banned as a spammer.
Items get atttention on Facebook if they're in your daily feed. So,
- "post" items -- and share them with friends who are likely to be interested
- write a "note" about them
- write a comment on a discussion thread
- mention them in your status
