Digg is a technology news website, started by Jeremiah Udy, and made famous by his friend - G4TV star, Kevin Rose. Digg expands on an idea started by Del.icio.us, where users submit urls parsed into various categories for others to see and click. If a user feels a link contains interesting content, that user will 'digg' - or vote for that link. Upon receiving sufficient 'diggs', the url will appear on the category front page and upon receiving enough diggs after that will be placed on the digg front page.
RSS feeds
The site deals with a lot of RSS feeds, each member has 4 feeds to them self. One feed is for all the stories they have 'dugg', another for the stories that have been submitted, another for the stories that have been submitted but have made it to the front page, and one with the stories they have commented on. Also there is a main RSS feed for the frontpage news, a feed for each category, and one for each category in the 'digg' section.
Changes
Digg.com is always being updated with new features that the users want. Since the site's launch in December 2004, comments have been added, an 'undigg' feature has been added, 'one-click digging' has been also added.
