What is Digg?35 Comments
- mesmeriffic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33I don't visit digg to read news, that's what an RSS is for.
I come here to read stories about kids with freaky spiders in his ear. - inadvertence, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Alternative title for this story:
"2007 Web 2.0 Awards - Digg Wins in Category created for Digg" - cmer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6CakePHP #1 and "honorable mention" for Rails and Django? WTF? Something's not right.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8***** Blogspam: http://www.webbyawards.com/webbys/current.php?season=11
- westhaven, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7Stop spamming Digg SEOmoz.
- walkingalone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2man, guess-the-google is so addictive =P
http://grant.robinson.name/projects/guess-the-google/ - beachian, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6A much deserved congratulations, Digg!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I can't believe Yahoo! Answers won a the category. Their draconian terms of service censors their content to the level of a 14 year old.
- rip747, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Buried as inaccurate since jQuery wasn't mentioned in the Web Development and Design category.
just joking. in all seriousness this is a great list of sites to know of for certain services. - MGaums, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Is it me, or does it seem like SEOmoz just listed a bunch of the most popular sites and linked to them so they could be Dugg, and could improve their own search ranking? I mean, that is a good SEO plan, right?
Seems like everyone is coming out with their own list and awards ceremony these days... - MGaums, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And this company handing out the awards is an SEO company...
Nah, no Digg from me.
Its smart. Use things that people like to click on... a list of the neat sites on the web to improve your ranking, while appearing to have a legitimate purpose. Put it up on the most popular social news website, and make sure to give them a first place for their category so its users really promote the list... and watch your hits and search ranking soar.
But at the end of the day, I don't feel like they've produced much of anything that hasn't already been done 500 times... and it feels like a slight abuse of the system. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i don't know how Google Docs & Spreadsheets are better designed than Think Free... actually Think Free is a really slick application
- timo1023, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Wait, they have news on Digg?
- inkubux, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1and symfony
- m3mn0n, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Yes, hate a foreign concept you do not understand. That's what everyone should do for everything.

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Yeah, and joystiq, gizmodo, the washingtonpost ...and and...
Oh wait, it's not spamming if you submit your article and hundreds of people digg it up. - elfinabout, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2I will hunt down the next person I hear using the marketing phrase "Web 2.0", and stab them in the eye with a pencil.
- bigspruce, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1In the beginning there was Helvetica.
And all in the corporate world saw the light.
Tribute was paid to Linotype (or it's predecessors)
But then, the Mac was born.
So to not pay the tribute, Steve begot Swiss (and London, etc)
Then, not to be outdone in not paying tribute, his "brother" Bill begot Arial.
And so it is... - shonar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I'm sorry, what? I was busy optimizing myself.
- bouche, on 10/12/2007, -8/+6"WE"?
- Dracos, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1There are people giving out awards based on meaningless buzzwords now? What have the intertubes come to?
- randfish, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3The "winners" are based on votes, not on the ratings criteria, so 1st place went to the site with the greatest number of votes, not necessarily to the site with the highest ratings in the categories.
- specialK16, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Dugg article because I found some cool sites in there!
- bouche, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2I figured Digg would win this category.
- scyther, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Digg is the definition of social news, so why wouldn't it win?
Congrats, Digg! - psbpv3o, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2*HIGH FIVE!!!*
- championchap, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4Anyone else notice that according to the scores they have undreneath we actually came in third.
The results are backwards! - ElMoselYEE, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1you and i are not owners are digg, so it'd be wrong to refer to ourselves as digg.
- fkr3, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1@corporalclegg24 -
My point is it's a bit of a stretch to call it a news site. Any news in these parts is accidental, which makes me sceptical about any award this site receives for being a "news" site. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+5"Web 2.0"?
How retarded can people be to continue using this ***** phrase? - ckdisco, on 05/19/2009, -8/+1WOW. There are a ton of great sites that I've heard of and a ton of other that I didn't know about. As a web geek, I'm going to be playing with myself - er - I mean... checking out these sites for days!
- corporalclegg24, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2Yes, your right. What is your point?
- fkr3, on 10/12/2007, -17/+6Most of the time digg appears to be about 20% - 30% news, with the rest being rumours, pics, videos and stuff that's not news.
Who exactly were they competing with? The site only lists digg, reddit and newsvine, with 3 honourable mentions.
