Currently, I am working on that, however if any of you are interested in how it is done, I have provided the link here.

What is Digg? I could just tell you that it is a social news site, but that succinct catchphrase just won’t do it for the regular readers here. So here is what I have come up, although with some slight help from The Great Wiki King.

Social news is a system implemented on site that consists of many different designs, although the one I will focus on now is Digg. Users of the site rank, bookmark, or assign points to items in a certain category. These items could be useful, or just plain bloody brilliant.
