Web 2.0 social bookmarking website created by Kevin Rose that relies on it's users to submit interesting news, images, or videos.
While the Digg concept and interface is great, the website is unfortunately hampered by many flaws.
The front page is nearly controlled by power users and it's nearly impossible for average diggers to get their submission into the front page.
As Digg becomes more mainstream, the core intelligence of Digg is taking a nosedive with the website slowly becoming a variation of 4chan.

Get the digg mug.A site created by former TechTV host, Kevin Rose, that uses a very unique feature to get all its tech news content, all the news is user submitted and promoted to the front page by people clicking the digg icon next to a story. When a story gets a certain amount of diggs it is promoted to the front page and everyone who visits the site will see it.

Get the digg mug.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 digg mug.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.

Get the Digg mug.A web site that over glorifies everything that is linux or apple. Anything that is microsoft is evil apparently.

Get the digg mug.A social bookmarking website, and now turned social networking as well.
It is very similar to the likes of reddit and slashdot, except now the creators are trying to make it into a social networking place as well (similar to facebook with news/submitted things).
Created by Kevin Rose, it is ran by its users through their own content driven submissions. The digg community voice consists of atheists and their leader, Richard Dawkins, Apple fanboys, pro-pot, Ron Paul fanboys, and/or all sorts of liberal hipsters.

Submit a news story titled
"Ron Paul loves Apple's new product that resembles a pot leaf: cites and quotes famous atheist, Richard Dawkin, in the process."
and you'll get thousands of digg users to digg it.
