DIGG --- dig out the news for others
This is a new cool web tool i am discovering. It is a list of news articles which are sorted by number of recommendations made by others users just like me. Gives me a lot of relevant information to read through and assures that what i am getting is the latest buzz.
This sounds like competition to my trusted news source Google news. It is very radical in it's own right. Sources stories right from where they are generated (news portal) and right when they are generated. Sorts them on categories and eliminates duplication to a large extent.
Although I am still exploring Digg. One thing that is not clear is how do stories get started initially. It is very easy for stories to get more diggs once they get noticed in most-popular pages.
I guess this will require a combination of both these tools. Go through google news to look for latest happenings. Find that useful and relevant go ahead a digg them.
