If I’m looking for news on the Internet, I’ll usually type in a keyword and search for it under Google News, or if it’s daily news maybe I’ll hit CNN.com or the site of my local newspaper back home.  If I know I want sports news I’ll go to ESPN.com, or the NFL or NHL sites, or the specific team sites.  Anything else I’ll usually just type into the standard Google search bar and click on links that look legit.

One way that I would not find news, however, is through Digg.  The information and articles on Digg.com are “dugg” by users.  So, although the top menu can narrow by category, the information is unfocused and wide-ranging.  Even within the subcategories that have more focused titles, the information can still vary and sometimes doesn’t even pertain to the category you chose to view.  Occasionally, you might see something interesting or possibly entertaining, but in terms of viewing information that you actually want to see online, people know who the experts are and know the official and focused sites that pertain to that information, and Digg does not necessarily fall into that category of focused information.
