Add functionality to submit topics to Dig, Slashdot, Technorati, Etc.

I think that's a bit over the top. But as for being a modification, that's another story.

A mod like this isn't hard to accomplish. A small skin edit to handle setting the links and adding buttons. :/

Absolutely it is easy. I am just hoping it can be standard functionality. Forums are by nature "Social Networks". For those of us using IP.Board for reporting news and business developments this type of standard functionality would be incredibly valuable. I really try to limit the number of mods I have to keep on my board. Integrating this, like they have for the blog, would be a great benefit for me.

I hope it is not a standard function. If it is to be added, it must be optional. My board is a private board and the content is not available anywhere else on the net.

Good point. Better to rephrase "Standard Option" ;)

I don't like the idea of my site relating to another site I don't have control of as a standard feature...means it would be changed with updates as those sites that we don't have control of update.

As I said, maybe an option that could be turned on. Just like the current functionality in IP.blog.
