I’ve been regularly visiting Digg.com for about two months now and I’m still not completely sure what I’m doing.

You see, I always thought that Digg was a social news website, but I’ve heard others refer to it as a social bookmarking site (in comments actually on Digg!).

So… when I Digg something what am I actually doing? I thought that I was giving the article on question my ‘vote’ and saying ‘I like this’ but for some people, Digging is just the act of saving something for later and that’s why I’m getting confused. As I understood it the stuff on the Digg frontpage are the things that most people have voted for but if it works like I’m told it works I’m just seeing things that the most people have book marked.

Which is it? Is Digg a news site or a bookmarking site? Or is it both?

Speaking of social bookmarking – I’m totally “digging” Del.ico.us lately! On a day to day basis I can be accessing the internet from anywhere between two (minimum) to five different machines, each with a different browser and some with different operating systems. Previously, accessing my bookmarks was a nightmare but now that I have Del.ico.us my life is a lot easier!.

If you haven’t already, you should check it out now and if you already have, let me know your ID so I can add you to my network and see all the cool stuff you’re finding! (If you want to add me, I’m andy206uk).
