Happy Birthday Digg – It Turns 5
Digg may not be the hottest topic of discussion presently, thanks to Twitter and Facebook for getting all the hype, yet Digg is live and happy here. This news that combines social bookmarking, blogging, RSS, and non-hierarchical editorial control turns 5 year old and looking forward to implement new exciting features. Not just that, you will be surprised to know that it gets official recognition, as December 4 is proclaimed as Digg.com Day in San Francisco headquarters.
Kevin Rose at Digg blog stated –
Five years ago today, Digg.com went live. What started as a simple idea has certainly come a long way. From a vision of a new way to surface news, and a team of three, to 40+ million monthly visitors and 80+ passionate employees…well, suffice it to say that I’m very proud of what we’ve become.
There have been a lot of memorable moments over the years. From the Paris Hilton phone hacking incident to cracking the HD-DVD key, you guys have defined Digg and are the reason for our growth. To date, we’ve had over 14 Million stories submitted and Dugg by you, he added.
Digg has certainly come a very long way since its inception and simultaneously, it managed to carry its chief principles and policies. Users still have the freedom to pick stories that impress them. With over 14 million stories submitted to date, only few could manage to reach people’s attention.

I needed to put you a little bit of word just to say thank you once again with your beautiful techniques you have discussed on this website. It has been so remarkably open-handed with people like you to convey openly all that some people would have made available for an e-book to get some cash for their own end, especially now that you might have tried it if you ever decided. These suggestions also served as the fantastic way to understand that some people have the same keenness really like my own to find out a whole lot more regarding this condition. I am certain there are a lot more fun opportunities ahead for those who read through your website.

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. However think about if you added some great pictures or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this website could certainly be one of the very best in its field. Fantastic blog!
