What the hell is "Digg"?
I see this all the time on websites and just noticed it on our profiles. Theres a little guy with a shovel and if you mouse over it says "Submit to Digg".

Whats that mean?

Digg is a news aggregator and an incredibly popular site, especially among tech junkies.

I don't think digg is "Awesome". I like it, a lot, but there are way too many liberal fucktards there that are Ron Paul, Apple and Ubuntu obsessed. (I like all three, but they're way too obsessed.)

not a bad site to pick up on news and information i normally wouldn't see on the mainstream mediums.

users decide how popular an article becomes.

and yes...digg users love ubuntu, ron paul, and apple.
