What’s a Digg?
Alot of people are using Digg.com and may already know what it is. But for those of us (myself included) who have no idea what it is, here is a little helpful info!
Technical definition:
Digg is a community-based popularity website with an emphasis on technology and science articles, recently expanding to a broader range of categories such as politics and entertainment. It combines social bookmarking, blogging, and syndication with a form of non-hierarchical, democratic editorial control.
News stories and websites are submitted by users, and then promoted to the front page through a user-based ranking system. This differs from the hierarchical editorial system that many other news sites employ. (Taken from Wikipedia.com)
My definition:
From what I understand- if you find or write an article that you think is interesting, you post it on digg.com and wait and see how many other people “digg it”. One of the great reason’s to use digg.com is to drive traffic to your own blog or website.
Its a pretty cool site- and its free and easy to use! Just go to digg.com, sign-up and start posting!!
I personally use del.icio.us and like the features it has better.
