Stories worth Digging…
I don’t know how many of you know about Digg. Digg is one of those Web 2.0 collaborative bookmarking systems - with a big twist - people vote on whether a story (mostly news-y kinds of things) deserves to be seen. The more “diggs” a story gets the more attention it gets.
There used to be this thing when a site got “slashdotted” (or the “slashdot effect” - that was when it got on the front page of slashdot.org.) Well, now, there is the “digg effect”
Anyway, something came across my inbox that I didn’t want to blog about, but I thought it would be worth a “digg” - so if you have an account, digg this story about a contest and a charity. And while you are at it, digg these:
- A famous cancer scientist was paid by Monsanto for years
- The overwhelming majority of Americans think that the government should negotiate for price with the drug companies.
- Google adds the “Geographic Web” to Google Earth
