>Many of you who follow the goings-on in the tech community know that there are a number of sites that cover news relating to technology. Blogs like Slashdot, Gizmodo and Engadget link to newest in tech issues, and some, like Slashdot, have extensive forum communities surrounding them.
Most sites accept links from their readers, but are approved by the site's operators. Now there is digg, a new tech news site that allows readers to post comments and approve links for the front page via user voting. Where sites like Slashdot allow user moderation of comments, digg gives control of the entire process from link approval to moderation to the users. Usually the content is equal parts of wheat and chaff, but that's normal in a heavily user-driven community - frequently, though, you'll see a few gems posted that make this site worthwhile.
digg is the brainchild of Kevin Rose of thebroken and systm as well as former alumni of the late TechTV's The Screen Savers. digg is definately worth a look if you want something fresh and a little less processed than your average web fare.
