I've used Digg before, and while it's a good concept, there's really nothing unique or partucularly unique. It's great to put the control of news into the user's hands, however, it's been well documented that most stories that make it to Digg's homepage are selected by a few users. </p> <p>I'll stick to CavengerNews.com.</p> I’m flummoxed.
