Digg - Thing 6

Digg is somewhat new to me as I have seen people posting items on Facebook and Twitter from Digg. I am fascinated by the theory behind it; that the story becomes popular due to how many people "dig" it.

I tend to have my own theory about the trends of certain subcultures and believe that certain groups tend to follow one news source over another. This aggregator tends to show the really zany or crazy top stories that have emerged in the popular section which is true for some aggregators. This tells me something about the groups that are reading and participating. Cool site that I will look at for news on the fly!
