Digg.com

I had never heard of this website before, but in class we just read an article about Digg.com. It's a social news website created by Kevin Rose, who is now being called a visionary for coming up with this great website. The way it works is that articles get "diggs" which are user endorsements and if an article gets enough, it makes it onto the homepage for everyone to see. Site users decide which articles to put up, so it's a democratic way to find news. I think that these days people like to be very interactive and participate, so this website fits into what people want really well.
