  A viewer suggested lately that some of my posts should be published to Digg, an internet website exactly where readers post and opt for newsworthy and interesting pieces. The advice ended up being flattering, as well as it seems that a number of what is explained here is simply by all balances of interest into a broad variety of viewers, but a lot more interesting is still the process by which Digg aspires to achieve objectives of newsworthiness.
  
  The web site operates on the particular democratic principle which readers can make and choose exactly what submitted content articles they want to go through and if they want to "digg" these, with the clear result that runners articles with more number of "digs" receive front-page coverage and thus exposure. For articles that readers deem uninteresting, rather than not voting, visitors have the option to pick "This is lame" - if there are enough of these "lame-votes", the content is removed simply by supposedly light-handed moderators.
  
  So far this all sounds like pretty intuitive democratic thought, and by all accounts there must be little criticism with the method, but there were some sizeable voices involving opposition on the site's value. The most recent strike was simply by one relatively high-profile writer called Charlie Demerjian, who released an article referred to as "Digg.com can be worthless as being a democratic concept" in which they recounted an experience of needing written a good piece concerning gaming on the internet to discover that it was overwhelmingly common. Deciding to send it in to Digg.com, Demerjian and in addition saw their popularity rocket and obtained more e-mails and also comments, a number of in agreement and a few in difference with what he to say, however all reasonable.
