Digg

You've probably seen it on other blogs or somewhere else. Digg is one of the great things out there worth checking into for your blog.

The folks at Digg say that Digg is a place for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the web. Digg surfaces the best stuff as voted on by their users.

Everything on Digg — from news to videos to images to Podcasts — is submitted by their community . Once something is submitted, other people see it and Digg what they like best. If your submission rocks and receives enough Diggs, it is promoted to the front page for the millions of our visitors to see.

As a user, you participate in determining all site content by discovering, selecting, sharing, and discussing the news, videos, and podcasts that appeal to you.

Submit your favorites. Find an article, video, or podcast online and submit it to Digg.com. Your submission will immediately appear in “Upcoming Stories,” where other members can find it and, if they like it, Digg it.

Become popular. Once a submission has earned a critical mass of Diggs, it becomes “popular” and jumps to the homepage in its category. If it becomes one of the most popular, it qualifies as a “Top 10”. If a submission doesn't receive enough Diggs within a certain time period, it eventually falls out of the “Upcoming” section.

Digg is relatively easy to join. I had a few problems with their word verification as it can be hard to read. I hate those things anyway but, they can serve a purpose.
