(Thing #11) Buried in Digg

I've been noticing the Digg icons since we started the 23 Things, and I've started clicking it on articles I thought were noteworthy, but never really followed through to see how far those articles made it in Digg. It's beginning to make more sense now. I like that, unlike Google Reader's format, you can read the article in it's own space and site.



I found an article about the cleanup of "ghost nets" around Ireland.



I still prefer to go directly to a news source, rather than have updates, and other peoples' suggestions chosen for me. I also prefer news gathering sources that are more specific, for example, for world and political news, I like to check out the Common Dreams site. Still, I see the value in a more generalized source like Digg.
