Digg is a very popular site where you can submit interesting content with a small snippet which will finally link to the original page. Every submitted story can be digged (Voted) or buried by registered digg users. What I see interesting about digg is that its totally controlled by the users and everything by human. We see latest happenings faster than search engines. We get results of the searched key phrases from a search engine but in digg, you can view upcoming stories and fresh news on the world wide web.
History of Digg
Digg was started Kevin Rose in September 2004 who developed an algorithm to allow web users to control and promote content from other sites on a single site without any external editorial control. He then added features like social networking which created real commercial value for the site. Digg now has a very small number of staff working, about 40. Kevin’s investment for this site was just a mere US$1000.
Great Success…
