Digg
is a social news website. Formerly, the site's
cornerstone function consisted of letting people vote stories up or down,
called digging and burying, respectively, but as of Digg v4, the
"bury" function has been removed. Digg's popularity has prompted the
creation of other social networking sites with story submission and voting
systems.[7]
The
website traffic ranked 117th by Alexa.com as of October 20, 2010.[6] Quantcast
estimates Digg's monthly U.S. unique visits at 15.1 million.[8]
