HOW CAN ORGANIZATIONS, EDUCATION INSTITUTES, AND NON-PROFIT COMPANIES USE DIGG?
Site has been “themed” by companies. Recently, Stride Gum purchased to theme digg.com. The site was
completely rebranded and was filled with stride advertisements. Companies should take advantage of these opportunities from this site, especially because of it’s high search ranking.
Non-profit companies and education institutes can also use digg as a wonderful PR tool. Many benefits can be promoted through the site ad space or a sponsored post
Digg is based off of voting, benefits can be highly ranked on the site if they have a lot of diggs. Awareness Sharing Good Press
Digg.com offers many useful features that anyone can access. Personal news feeds on the site are customizable and sharing a story
couldn’t be any easier. Digg Bar download
The digg bar essentially is a toolbar added to your Internet browser. A user can click “digg this” and the opened page is instantly shared on the website.

CONSTANTLY UPDATING…
The site is constantly updating and adding new features daily.
In August 2010 Digg updated to version 4. The site was unstable, but added many new
features (such as, bury, favorites, friends submissions, upcoming pages, subcategories, and history search). The site was soon changed back to version 3, but Kevin Rose promised that he would fix the problem. The site was soon changed back to the original version 3 interface, but included some of the new features. It is interesting to see what the site continues to offer it’s users to help improve our experience on the website.

WHAT DO I THINK? I have been using Digg.com for about two and a half
years Really helpful to find interesting news stories, videos,
pictures, and more! I am always interested in reading about new news
stories floating around the web. Digg.com offers different content from most websites.
The material is completely random. Material is subject for removal by digg’s discretion.
Never leave unsatisfied The content is broken down into ten categories.
Business, Entertainment, Gaming, Lifestyle, Offbeat, Politics, Science, Sports, Technology, and World News.
Very customizable! Digg is a unique experience for me.
