DIGG SHOVELS UP STORIES BY RANK
By Matt Marshall
Mercury News

Digg, a new San Francisco Internet start-up, seeks to rank news items by letting people choose which stories they like anywhere on the Web.
And it just received $2.8 million in venture capital from some big-name investors, including Omidyar Network, the outfit led by eBay co-founder Pierre Omidyar, Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen, and Greylock partners.
Relying on its audience to make submissions by "digging'' news items -- similar to "tagging'' -- Digg's software moves articles up the site (www.digg.com) based on how many "diggs'' it gets. The company says it has 80,000 registered users who are allowed to "digg,'' or select, articles (which can be anything online, from news stories, blogs, or commercial offerings). Those who don't register are able to view the ranked items. Digg says it has more than 500,000 daily visitors.
Digg is still largely focused on technology news, but it is building separate ranked lists for other types of news. It already has various sub-categories for technology, for example gaming or software.

O que é o Digg?

Digg is a technology news website that employs non-hierarchical editorial control. With digg, users submit stories for review, but rather than allowing an editor to decide which stories go on the homepage, the users do.
