Digg

Digg is social news website, and the first of its kind. I have known what Digg was for a while and have seen Digg applications on other websites, but this was the first time I have perused the Digg website itself – It’s addicting. I just spent an hour looking at “Celebs With No Photo Shop,” “Lady Gaga Before She Went Gaga,” “Crazy Tattoos,” and “15 Surprising Logos,” among other things. Its great if you just want to waste time looking at cool or funny posts, but you can also narrow your searches to things such as World & Business, Technology, Entertainment, and Sports, etc…

With this site it is easy to keep up with current events and you can see what your peers are reading and enjoying as well. If you find a post particularly interesting, stimulating, hilarious, informative or what not, you simply “Digg” it. The posts with the most Digg’s are on the front pare and the rest are ordered accordingly.

With Digg I was able to easily find the latest on the new healthcare bill by clicking on “World & Business” and then “News” – sure enough, there it was, the third post on that page.

I will definitely be returning to this site regularly.
