3. Tag your blog posts and twitter messages

• A tag is a keyword that is assigned to particular content (e.g. picture, article). It is also usually a keyword that is chosen by the author/creator of an item according to her/his personal preference, instead of by a pre-defined classification scheme. By sharing or using the same tag, we can also make a statement that this area is important to many people.
• If you are blogging about the campaign or issues related to violence against women and/or technology, tag your posts in Technorati. Technorati is a search engine for blogs, which also allows us to pull together and publish all blog posts that are using the same Technorati tag.
• To tag your posts, simply copy and paste this code in the html area of your blog posts:
  

  <!-- technorati tags begin --><p style=”font-size: 10px;” ds_newline=””align=”right”>
  technorati tags: <a href=”http://technorati.com/tag/takebackthetech” rel=”tag” ds_newline=”directory”>
  takebackthetech</a></p><!--technorati tags end --> 
  

• You can also register your blog with us during the campaign period, and the campaign website will publish all your posts without needing individual tags.
• To register, create an account on the campaign website, click on “ka-BLOG profile” and fill in the form.
• If you are on Twitter, make violence against women the most important topic of conversation by posting facts, questions, stories and calls to action on your daily tweets. Retweet relevant messages, and use the campaign hashtag in all your tweets: #takebackthetech
• We will be aggregating and publishing all campaign tweets on the campaign site.

4. Build knowledge

• We use del.icio.us to share bookmarks on websites or articles that is related to violence against women and ICT.
• The website del.icio.us (pronounced as “delicious”) is a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks. Basically, it allows users to share their bookmarks with other Internet users or with members of their communities, using common tags.
• To set up your own del.icio.us account: go to http://del.icio.us.
• Anytime you come across a useful resource, include the campaign tag to share it with other Take Back The Tech! campaigners. The campaign tag is: takebackthetech
• Start by tagging your campaign website and www.takebackthetech.net.
• Find out more about del.icio.us on our 2006 daily action: bookmark and share!
