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.

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

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.

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.
