A website very much like slashdot that "is all about user powered content. Every article on digg is submitted and voted on by the digg community."
Basically this means that there are no editors, aside from the users. When a story is submitted, it must recieve a certain amount of "diggs" before it is promoted to the front page, where the linked article will sometimes succumb to the "digg effect" due to the massive increase in traffic. The comment system works the same way as the article system in the way that comments can be "dugg" when they are good, but they also be buried when they suck. Any user has an unlimited amount of diggs and buries, which sometimes causes problems, but the system works for the most part.

Get the no diggmug. A "Digg" is when you have a very successful business in place & you make significant changes stripping away what made it unique to then make it into one of the biggest startups & failures all in one.
Digg.com was an innovative website in it's time but then pulled a "Digg" when they did a complete make over of an already established website to then go from one of the biggest social news media sites to the biggest failure news media site.

Get the Diggmug. 1: To submit a story on the popular social networking website, digg.com. The website is a way for users to share web content and news articles on the internet. In past tense, you say you "dugg it."
2: To really like something. The spelling is usually only with one g in this instance (dig, not digg).

Get the digg itmug. A once-magnificently entertaining website whose heart, soul, and brain simultaneously died on August 25, 2010.
Goodbye oldtime Digg wit, humor, variety, democracy, interesting stories, and thoughtful commentary... hello boredom, ghost towns, corporate content takeover, and recycled Reddit leftovers.
