Digg.com has deservable been getting alot of great press lately. If you’re not familiar with Digg, it is a technology news site much like Slashdot, but with an interesting twist. On Slashdot, people submit stories that get read by Slashdot’s editors. If these editors feel the stories are worthy and relevant, they publish the story. If not, the story get burried. Digg however, lets anybody submit a story. The stories are placed into a queue, that Digg readers get to vote on. The 15 stories with the most votes (or diggs) get placed on the home page.

Digg also uses tags to help organize the content and has some great features that let users keep track of the stories they dugg.

In a short 9 months of being online, Digg is almost as big as Slashdot and should overtake Slashdot in a couple of months.

If you’d like to find out more on Digg, Business Week just posted a great interview with Digg founders Kevin Rose and Jay Adelson that discusses how digg uncovers the news.
