Taliban using Social Bookmarks
November 6th, 2009

The CIA Factbook estimates Afghan literacy above the age of 15 at 28.1% (43.1% of males, 12.6% of females)  — so it’s worth noting that the Taliban (Mullah Omar’s outfit, aka the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan) is now using social bookmarking on its website:

Note the little line of social bookmarking icons across the bottom of the post, shown full-size here:

How’s that for Web2.0 literacy?

No one has bookmarked anything from this URL on Delicious as far as I can see.

Oddly, when I tried bookmarking the lead story - about a NATo bombardment killing 37 people - the suggested tags from Delicious were: blog, design, art, music, career, android, comedy, beach, charts, clubs.
