Can you digg it?

What's Digg? Digg is a technology news website that combines social bookmarking, blogging, RSS, and non-hierarchical editorial control. With digg, users submit stories for review, but rather than allowing an editor to decide which stories go on the homepage, the users do.

Sounds really cool. A friend at work was telling me about it today.

Digg is a technology news website that combines social bookmarking, dynamic social RSS, and non-hierarchical editorial control. With digg, users submit stories for review, but rather than allowing an editor to decide which stories go on the homepage, the users do.

/. editors are idiots. they double post stories every other day - the same editor(s) even.

I've had the /. rss for the last 2 months and I've never seen a dupe.. As far as I can tell, the stories are more diverse on digg and the comments are friendlier, but the posters are idiots

I only ever read the front page... I guess I just have a low threshold for what bothers me. "Old" material doesn't quite cross that line.

I bet Carmack never posted on Digg
