Digg, a social news website made for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the Internet, by submitting links and stories, and voting and commenting on submitted links and stories, has come under some recent controversy, because of how driven the site is by its users. Just like Wikipedia any user that signs on to Digg.com can post any opinion that they feel so true. Because of this, misinformation has begun to take over the majority of the postings upon the site. Users go on, posed as professionals and write nothing but pure opinion, that other users can read and beleive as fact. It is my beleif that in order for somone to post fact on the site they must have other sourses to back up what they are posting. What do you think?
