What is Digg?
This is the first part in our social networking series
Digg is a user driven social content community website. Ok, so what the heck does that mean? Well, everything on Digg is submitted by the Digg community (that would be you). After you submit content, other people read your submission and Digg what they like best. If your story rocks and receives enough Diggs, it is promoted to the front page for the millions of visitors to see.
What can you do as a Digg user? A lot, every person can Digg (help promote), bury (help remove spam), and comment on stories. You can even Digg and bury other comments you like or dislike. Digg also allows you to track your friends’ activity throughout the site, want to share a video or news story with a friend? Digg it!
Digg offers many tools to include the Digg buttons right to your sites so that others can Digg you as well. There are also plenty of third party utilities and code to include it on your Website, or Blog. It is recommended however that you Digg a few of your post every once in awhile to get the ball rolling and traffic coming.
