Digg is a user driven social news website made for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the Internet, by submitting links and stories.
Like Reddit and Newsvine, Digg users exercise editorial power and collectively determine the value of content.
Commenting on and voting stories up and down is the site’s cornerstone feature, called ‘digging’ and ‘burying’. Many stories are submitted every day, but only the most ‘dugg’ stories appear on the front page.
