Bookmarks & Sharing
The Carlisle City Council website includes links to social
bookmarking websites. The links can be found at the bottom of most
pages.
These sites are free to use and allow you to store, tag and
share links across the internet. Once you have registered with
them, you can share these links with friends and people with
similar interests and even access them from other computers.
If there is a page that you'd like to save or share, just select
one of these links to add to it your list or share with your
friends.
