Oooooooo….so that’s what all those pretty little buttons are at the bottom of the news story! Yay! I CAN learn something new here.
I played around with these sites and had some fun – on first glance I was drawn to Digg the most. Reddit’s site seemed circa 1998 to me…very text heavy and very little white space. It reminded me of the old Yahoo homepage (and I say that nostalgically and affectionately). I could figure out Digg right away. I logged into BBC news, found a cool photo montage of interesting pictures and “digged” it. Or “dug” it. Whatever.
I had to create a Digg account, but that was easy. I’m not sure how much I’ll use this, but it is need to have the power to recommend things for others to see. It gives me authority! It gives me power! It makes me look smart and well-read!
My friends use the recommendation feature on Facebook all the time; that’s how I get clued into the really interesting stuff out there. It always says something about the sender, too. I find myself trying to connect the content to the sender….hmmmm…why would she send THAT?
Figure this one out. Ha!

That is exactly why I took Digg off my blog. you can't control the randomness of it. I still look at it sometimes but don't want it linked to 'me'.
