A First Look at Digg
I dugg this up from TechCrunch’s Archives.
Digg is very early stage, sort of pre-beta. But its getting some buzz. Think of it as slashdot but potentially better. We first came accross it at TheShiftedLibrarian
and after checking out the service ourselves we were quite impressed.
In their own words, “Digg is a technology news website that gives editorial control back to the community. Most technology websites allow users to suggest content by submitting links or stories to an editor. If the editor believes the story to be relevant to the masses, he or she moves the story to the homepage. With digg, users also submit links for review. But rather than allowing an editor to decide which links go on the homepage, the users do.”
I found it quite amusing.

Nice find. It seems Digg was pretty unheard of even a short while ago.
