Digg: A New Wave Of Media Disruption

" If I were an online publisher, or a PR person, I'd be spending a lot of time studying how this idea catalyst works and can be leveraged. Digg may not be in the top-10 rankings of all publisher sites, but it can act as a forceful fire hose of content to high-reaching mainstream channels.

W3Counter: Internet Explorer 67%, Firefox 25% as of July 8, 2006

Just read a report about the market share of web browsers from W3Counter: Internet Explorer 67% (IE6 66% + IE7 1%), Firefox 25% (FF1.5 21% + FF1.0 4%), it looks that Firefox is doing very well.

You can also find that the majority screen resolution is 1024 x 768 or above, that means we should design our web pages layout based on 1024 x 768 instead of 800x600.

Digg website where users submit stories not publishers

Digg is a user driven social content website. Ok, so what the heck does that mean? Well, everything on digg is submitted by the digg user community (that would be you). After you submit content, other digg users read your submission and digg what they like best. If your story rocks and receives enough diggs, it is promoted to the front page for the millions of digg visitors to see.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

What can you do as a digg user? Lots. Every digg user can digg (help promote), bury (help remove spam), and comment on stories... you can even digg and bury comments you like or dislike. Digg also allows you to track your friends' activity throughout the site — want to share a video or news story with a friend? Digg it!
