Digg.com is a social news website. People submit stories and other user ‘votes’ by either giving it a ‘digg’ or ‘bury’ for stories to either rise to the front page or bury forever in the hall of shame. The content of its website are moderated by its community.

Users could also comment and discuss on the story submitted. Other users then could also digg and bury comments. It’s a little bit advance then your 4chan or BBS type forum and the comment sometime are more hilarious then what you got on 4chan.

I spend a lot of my time on Digg and it is not because of the Snorgtees and Busted tee ads on Digg, no matter how cute. The Digg community sometime could be the most cynical people on the interweb.

Users vote on stories from pre-approved news publishers to push them up. If on Digg.com you ‘digg’ a story up and ‘bury’ a story down on Yahoo Buzz you ‘buzz up’ a story and ‘buzz down’.
