I joined Digg almost a year ago, end of March 2009. I wasn’t intending to use it like it had been designed to, that is to find out about hot stories alternatively from the mainstream media. Digg was created to collectively uncover most popular sites on the Web, by means of submitting and voting for the best contents. Recently, Digg celebrated its 5-year anniversary.

I had known Digg about four years ago, where a co-worker forwarded me a dugg article about something, which I can’t remember. I got curious about Digg at that time but didn’t pursue it any further. Last year, I decided to join Digg, since I started seeing lots of yellow buttons with the word “digg” on different contents around the Web, and also to feed my curiosity.

I immediately saw Digg as an alternative bookmark site, and a publishing source. I have been using Digg as such ever since.

I have put Digg’s link on my Social Media widget.
