I include a link to Digg in my sidebar and even a snippet of an RSS feed on the sidebar as well. I decided I should make an entry promoting this site because I love it so much and spend so much time on it. Digg enables users to exercise editorial control over what stories are featured on the site. A user can "digg" a story to make it appear higher in the rankings and even hit the main page. Alternatively, one can also "bury" a story as spam, duplicate, or inaccurate. The same holds true for comments on stories. I can't tell you the feeling of satisfaction I get when I bury a comment I disagree with!
Sure, the comments section is beset with stupidity, but it's better than on most sites out there. Digg has numerous categories catering to many different interests, but I'm mostly found visiting the technology and video section. Digg does all this with typical Web 2.0 AJAX flash. It's probably the snazziest site I've seen in a while. Thank goodness "flashy" no longer means Macromedia (or should I say Adobe now?) Flash and annoying techno sound files in web design terms.
You can also keep track of what your friends digg and even subscribe to RSS feeds of the articles they have dugg. Here's mine.
