WEEK 8 - Web 2.0 Tools

I examined DIGG at www.digg.com. I chose this site because the icon for it is on the bottom of many news sites.

I thought it was totally useless tool. Digg rates blog postings, not blogs, based on popularity. People click on Digg icon. The blog postings are also organized by format (videos, images) and subject such as technology, science and gaming. There is nothing that important about one blog posting over the millions posted everyday that one specific posting would be worth reading. The other problem is that their is no specific objective criteria used for judging one blog posting better than another.
