Digg

Digg
On Facebook? Great, the sign up process for Digg will be a piece of cake. You can link it directly to your Facebook account, and skip most of the questions. It will even search your Facebook friends and add them to your list of Digg friends.

Through this linking process I realized that the majority of my friends are as un-technological as me. Out of my over 140 Facebook friends, only 1 was on Digg. Ouch! But now, you Facebook users, may have to join me.

The name Digg I'm guessing comes from that slang term "I dig it". There are no facts supporting that, just good ol' MJB logic. Take it or leave it, but that is exactly what Digg is. Which is why I think Digg and Stumble go hand and hand. See something on stumble you like? Digg it. And when you do, it will even ask if you want to link it to your facebook profile.

Note to Facebook friends. All those weird or funny articles I've been linking to. You guessed it, I Stumbled them and then Digged them. Or was that Dugg them?

Digg though, is about News, Videos, and Images. If you click on one of those links, you can dig (yes the cheesy pun is intended) through recent articles that other Diggers have Dugg okay, I'll stop with the puns now.

Sign up, submit your first article, picture, or video, and you'll feel like a journalist submitting your first story to the editor. Digg checks for duplicates, and if none are found, it asks you for a short summary describing what you are submitting. If you want others to read it, use something catchy like "Dog Walks on Moon" Or if your just digging it to store it on the web for your self, add a label here so you remember what it is you've submitted.

When I look at my homepage on Digg, I know there is so much more, but remember I never stated I would be an expert on these sites, just a little more enlightened than before. The light may be dim, but if you want to see more, check it out yourself at http://digg.com/ .

Overal Digg was okay, I'll probably keep my acct, but will us it very little. Stumble I loved, and give a 5-star thumbs up! I hope to see some of you find me on these sights. Just look for allsurreal, and add me to your network.

Life is All Surreal.
