For those of you out there who aren’t hip to all the internet has to offer, there’s this great site out there called digg. What is digg? Wikipedia, as always, has a good definition of digg:
Digg is a community-based popularity website with an emphasis on technology and science articles, recently expanding to a broader range of categories such as politics and entertainment. It combines social bookmarking, blogging, and syndication with a form of non-hierarchical, democratic editorial control.
So it’s basically a site where people can post links and rate others that have already been posted. For those internet newbies out there, it’s basically a magical place to get all those email Forwards without the bad formatting.
This isn’t exactly news for me, I’ve been digging for a while now; it’s not something I do everyday, but it’s a good way to catch the latest vibes on the web. The reason I bring this up is that they have something called digg labs, which is pretty much like google labs, but with some what less useful toys. The one I wanted to show you today is called Stack. This basically show you, in real-time, which diggs are getting the most attention. There is definitely cool factor to that, but above and beyond that is the ease of use of this. It’s simple to use, and you can get to the stories without much effort.
Got a few minutes to waste? Go check it out.
