Delicious-ly BOLD!

Be BOLD Baltimore! loves reaching out to the community through Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and this blog. But, there’s an interesting little site that you might not have heard about that’s also helping us spread our message. It’s called delicious.com.

Started in 2003, Delicious is a popular social bookmarking web site. This means that campaigns like ours, as well as individual people like you, can create accounts and share fun, interesting links with followers. Basically, if you find a cool web site that you think other people should know about, you log into your Delicious account and post the link to that site on your page. People who are following you will see what you’ve posted and can check it out.

Also, if you share a lot of links about the same topic, like organic eating, you can pull those links together and create a “stack.” That way, if your followers are interested in a particular topic, they can see all of the links you have posted about that one topic in one place. The most interesting stacks are featured on the Delicious home page and shared with all of the site’s visitors.

Since we launched our campaign, Be BOLD Baltimore! has shared 28 links on Delicious. These links contain information about all things BOLD -- from the opening of local, organic eateries in the Baltimore area to how organic foods help promote weight loss.

We’ve also created three stacks, all of which have been featured on the Delicious home page. We have a stack about local organic markets and products, a stack about organic diets and weight loss, and a stack about Baltimore destinations and restaurants that offer foods prepared with locally-grown, organic ingredients.

So, if you want more information about what you can do to include more locally-grown, organic foods in your diet, check out our Delicious page.

Also, if you have a link you’d like to share, drop us a line in the “Comments” section. We’re more than happy to add your recommended links to our Delicious page.
