Ok for someone that came late to the party - what is digg? "Humancentric technology at the edge" - love this in my sci-fi books but what does it do?

  Reddit before reddit.

    It's del.ici.us after del.icio.us

      don't forget /.

  A community driven link aggregator site. Think of a cross between Reddit and a forum. It was one of the biggest sites/communities in the 2000s.

    besides "It was one of the biggest sites/communities in the 2000s" you're describing HN

      Kinda like HN but you could share political news without it getting flagged.

    That's what it was but what will this reboot be?

    > Think of a cross between Reddit and a forum. That's not quite right: Digg was closer to a pure link-sharing site, being able to comment and discuss was lackluster. Digg <-> Reddit <-> Webforum

  The buzzwords are news aggregator, or social bookmarking. Kind of HN for the masses. I don't remember if there were comments but one could vote links up or down.

  It's where Reddit's userbase came from but it isn't exactly like reddit. It was more like HN until they ruined it to make the investors happy and instead investors got their investment killed in one day.

  it's the missing link between slashdot and reddit.
