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 Diggy mug.When a website reaches Digg.com's front page and the server gets pwned by the large amount of incoming webtraffic. Images and videos worsen the Digg Rape effect due to their relatively higher bandwidth requirements versus plain text.
Usually one will notice the Digg Rape effect when trying to browse to a site linked through Digg.

Get the diggy mug.A dance coined by the Columbia High School Band of West Columbia, Texas. Is regularly performed by the band at football games and after pep rallies in the school's courtyard to the band's signature cadence. Another version of this dance is performed by the Dancing Dolls, Columbia High's drill team, at football games, but it is in no way comparable to the greatness that is the band's Diggy.
The full list of cadences is Standard, Boogey, Trooper, Pop, and Diggy.
The current Columbia High School drumline is comprised of Will Huebner, Danielle Barrera, Justin Taylor, Samantha Porter, Nathan Stahl, Scott (Scotty) Quinn, Austin Brown, Shae James, Raylen Worthington, Derrick Comeaux, and Q Woodard.
