about digg: frequently asked questions

Today we are supporting a new kind of Digg. A digg you may remember that supports user summited votes or diggs daily activity to promote news stories submitted to the home page.

You might remember this implementation of digg.com under kevin rose startup days (as digg api v1 + v2 but absolutely not the v3 rewrite) and how it empowered the user who decides what stories make it to the homepage via user submitted votes or diggs daily promoting the good in the news submitted. Well sir we are bringing it back!

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.
Once a story is submitted by a user it is instantly posted in the digg area queue. This is a temporary holding place where stories wait to be promoted to the homepage. To help promote stories to the homepage, simply visit the digg area and digg stories you think are cool. Once a story has received enough diggs, it is instantly promoted. Should the story not receive enough diggs, or is reported, it eventually falls out of the digg area queue. Digg works because a large group of people actively promote good stories to the homepage. Since this site's content is user-driven, it is up to YOU to contribute.
Submitting stories is easy. Simply click on "submit a story" in the page header and enter the URL of the story you would like to submit. Then fill out a title, description, and category for the story. Should you encounter a potential duplicate, please digg the original story and do not submit a duplicate entry.
