Digg.com is a great site that lets visitors add sites that they think are interesting. There are other similar sites such as reddit.com and del.icio.us. It's a great way to see what's popular on the Internet at any given time - "real" time. In other words, you can visit it hourly to see what is the latest popular photo, news article, web site, etc. The big problem with these sites is that they increase the traffic to the popular sites dramatically and usually swamp them so that they are no longer viewable. Usually "mirror" sites are listed that are virtual copies of the original site to reduce traffic to the original site. Often the really popular sites will swamp the mirror sites as well. It's frustrating since the site is usually popular for a reason and I'd usually like to see it! Anyway, that's my pet peeve of the day!Submitted 10/21/2007 11:22:11 PMComment (0)
