To Digg or not to Digg

For those of you that don't know what Digg.com is here is a little crash course in digging. First lets grab the definition of what digg is from the creators:Digg is a technology news website that combines social bookmarking, blogging, RSS, and non-hierarchical editorial control. With digg, users submit stories for review, but rather than allow an editor to decide which stories go on the homepage, the users do. Now from a users perspective. Digg is a way for everyone to be part of the technology news & journalism scene. News, rumors, and useless crap all get reported or submitted into digg. Then the digg community gets to decide after reading the submitions if they are worthy of getting a push towards the frontpage (this is what digging is). When you decide to digg a story you are adding your backing and legitimization of a story, all in all you are helping a story make its way to the front page. Once a week there is a podcast called DiggNation, hosted by Kevin Rose & Alex Albrecht, that discusses 8-10 of the top stories of the week. Digg is a solid source of news and rumors, but it is a fantastic place that makes all it's members feel like they are part of a community by it's very nature. So for all those folks reading this I suggest you go to digg.com and add robbiethegeek as a friend within your profile check out the geek's RSS feed in the links section to the right. And join the rest of us and start digging.
