What are favorites?

Favorites are a way to collect articles, blog posts, photos, and Web links in one place. By clicking the "add to favorites" links on Crosscut pages, or by using the bookmarklet on any site on the Web (see below), you can add news stories to your account for future reference or sharing.

How do I add favorites?

On Crosscut: Once you've registered and logged in, you will see "add to favorites" links on Crosscut articles, blog posts, photos, and Clicker items. Click these links to add items to your favorites.

On the Web: Drag this link to your browser's bookmarks bar: Add Crosscut Favorite.

When you are viewing a Web page you'd like to add to your Crosscut favorites, just click that bookmark.

What can I do with favorites?

In addition to being listed on your profile page and your favorites page, you can provide a feed of your Crosscut favorites to third-party social sites like FriendFeed and Twitter (via TwitterFeed) so your online friends can see online news that catches your eye. Any site which can use a Web feed can use your Crosscut feed.

Can I see everyone's favorites?

Yes! The whole point of Crosscut favorites is to share what you're reading so that we're all better informed. You can see a running list of someone's favorites on their account page and a list of everyone's favorites on the Recent Favorites page.
