For details on how to post a link to an article on another website, see this FAQ on quicklinks
You can also add a link to your group page when you find a link already on OpEdNews. Just below the list of subjects, at the top of the article, there's an 'ADD TO MY GROUPS' clickable link. Click on it and you can add that link to your groups page, or pages, if you belong to more than one group. It just takes a few seconds.

Use quicklinks as a way to easily help your members access important articles or resources you want them to see.


Get discussions going
To get a conversation or debate going, post a full article which you write or reprint with permission; a quicklink to an article on some other site; or blog a diary.

When you write the article or diary, or create the quicklink-- take a WEB 2.0 approach-- create it with the understanding that you are starting the conversation-- presenting one perspective and the expectation that members of your group will help fill in the gaps, cover other aspects of the discussion. This is web 2.0 journalism. It requires a different kind of thinking, either as writer or editor-- and anyone can be an editor when the rules allow anyone to add links and content. Along these lines, don't assume that all the readers and commenters on your article will agree with you. Expect lively discussion, disagreement and debate. Be ready to respond, participate in the conversation and to learn from your readers. That's part of the "architecture of inclusion" that makes WEB 2.0 what it is.

-Send Messages to Your Group That Don't Get Lost or Caught In Spam Filters
Send messages to your group members from withing the system, so you don't have to worry about spam or viruses.

As new web 2.0 technologies come available from its tech provider, OpEdNEws will be adding polls, events, calendars, democratic content promotion through voting and more.
