Can you Digg it, can you Digg it, can you Digg it? Have to say I am not really digging it. It seems so much like the up-down thumb, check mark, buzz, etc. already prominent in so many pages - I do understand the concept - what people like right now, what they found newsworthy - but I saw a lotta old news on the Digg main page and I have to say that I wasn't greatly impressed by the options available.
I do see possibilities for this type of application though - I think it would be great to use as an add for an OPAC along with user reviews - it would be fabulous to implement on a library page for the news/events and features page (are people reading the message - did they like the event, etc.)
So I don't dig Digg - but I will look at some other sites. I already have Twine and Newsvine accounts, but it has been awhile since I popped in there - I get back with more in part deux.

Is this like a to-do list? I'm so kicking myself for not recognizing the possibilities available like you so obviously have!! This deserves a creativity prize for the brilliant time-management application you have hit upon!

WHOA... you're not only practical, but devious, too!!! Screening your comments... who knew. Oh, how I wish I sat behind you in class... I despair to think of the things I could have copied (I mean learned!)
