Could someone please explain to me how the things that |
|
people post, apparently as links, work? I'm talking about the rectangular ones with all the symbols and Google and Bookmark. They are colorful. I have no idea what they are or how they work, but apparently if you know how to use them, you can link to websites or articles. Please. I am not very computer savvy. Thanks.

If you want to share a webpage with DU , Copy (highlight > right mouseclick > COPY ) the URL from the address bar of that site.
To put the link ointo your DU post, (left mouseclick > PASTE)
If you want to post a picture from a website (right mouseclick the picture. >properties > highlight > copy. Put the picture in your post, by rt mouseclick > paste.
Hope I answered the question you were asking, in a way that makes sense.
PM me if I can help further.

3. People aren't posting them, DU does it |
|
It's attaching that little toolbar to everyone's post. If you use Facebook for example, it will enable you to with one click send a link to that DU post to all of your Facebook friends, to share. The Google one will let you keep a bookmark for that thread in a Google app, don't know why anybody would use that though unless they are on a public computer and cannot save bookmarks directly.
The websites like Facebook etc the tool links to like it because it adds traffic. I think DU gets a small kickback from them for including the tool, not certain of that though.
