Digg.com is Great

I'm not usually really big on social networking sites. This would include Friendster, MySpace, Tribe and so on. I subscribe to each so that I can post announcements about shows and get to more people doing so, but why use the site to talk with friends when I have their fucking email addresses? (Yes, I swear a lot)

Then I went over to Digg.com and fell in love. Digg is not really a social networking site, but I guess you could kind of lump it into that category. Rather than try to explain it, I'll just paste a blurb from the site itself.

What is digg? Digg is a technology news website that combines social bookmarking, blogging, RSS, and non-hierarchical editorial control. With digg, users submit stories for review, but rather than allow an editor to decide which stories go on the homepage, the users do.

The thing I like about the site though is that you can subscribe to the main page like any blog and you get the best and most interesting news out there. If you've never heard of Digg, go check it out. And hey, add me to your friends list - not that I'll ever communicate with you through it, but isn't it fun to have friends and fully document the fact?
