Digg

Digg is a great website to share content on the web. The service also allows users to vote on the information or stories to collectively determine the importance or page ranking the item will receive with the most popular stories appearing on the site's homepage. Users can also comment on stories as well as register for the categories that seem most interesting or submit their own. Finally the service provides a community feature allowing a user to add their friends and check out what they are digging. You can also share your favorite links with friends by customizing your profile to include a few photos of yourself, urls to your blog, pages on Facebook or other interesting sites.

After joining and working with the service I have listed a few of the pro's and con's I encountered below:

Pro's

• Social networking site that has numerous capabilities such as sharing information.
• Ability to vote on stories to increase the stories rank
• Homepage displays the top rated stories
  

Con's

• The form associated with the initial signup was a bit lengthy and requires email verification
• The homepage interface is a bit overwhelming and looks very cluttered and busy

One of the stories ranked most popular was one that I recently saw on tv. I thought it was such a feel good story and serves as a reminder that there are still good people out there urging others to pay his gift of kindness forward. Warm and fuzzy stories are always needed in economic times such as this, so I felt I should share it with those that may have missed it.
