Digg.com uses a popularity system, where site members can vote the submitted pages up or down and only the most popular stories make it to the front page.

Large numbers of people keep a watch of Digg’s top stories and visit the links that look interesting.

Digg has a lot of users – so it’s not fair to generalize. But if I had to: They tend to be younger, they have a great sense of humor, but they hate reading. Digg members are very serious people and it sometimes reflects in a negative way as to how other members are treated by their fellow members. Digg is not always the nicest place to visit, but it is by far the best website to visit and submit new content to, if you are a Webmaster or blogger wanting to increase traffic to a website or article that you like and want to share with millions of other potential visitors.

Digg is another social bookmarking hotspot, focused on technology and science. Digg users submit links to articles and websites, along with a brief commentary. Digg.com is a site for sharing links to technology news, and related things that geeks like me enjoy, such as videos.

But since Digg.com is mostly technology related, I’m using more mainstream social bookmarking services such as StumbleUpon .
