Anyone use Digg?

Over the last little while that's become my favorite place to get/share news, articles, and whatnot.
They got a cool Friends feature but sadly, most of my friends aren't geeky enough to use such a service, so my list is pretty much empty.
So anyone here use it? Would be nice to see what others in this community read/like/share/comment on.
My username there is
m3mn0n, too.
And for those wondering what the hell I'm talking about.. this is basically like Slashdot, but instead of editors promoting articles to the main page, it's based on votes by Digg users. You can learn more at the
Digg site.

I use it every once in a while... it's on my google home page as is devzone.zend.com and slashdot... I Can't remember my username, let me
digg it up for you...
Did you know it's php-powered? At least that's what I've heard.
OK - username is "nozavroni"

I do, I use Firefox's toolbar folder & live RSS to get the feeds easily, then when I find one I like I use Stylish to use a CSS hack to make it fullscreen and get rid of the extra crap.
The problem with Digg is most of the stuff is crap and just a waste of time to read about.

Yep. Fully PHP powered and in the top 100 for traffic internet-wide.
What's your username, Dave?

I go to Digg all the time. Nice to see some "non-filtered" news.

Digg is a rather interesting approach. Its the wisdom (and stupidity) of the masses, so often you will see repeated stories (because enough people didnt see it the first time), and even contradictory stories.
But it does provide an interesting view of a huge variety of stories - many of which are interesting. Keep in mind that you can search on a topic that interests you (say, "php").
Equally intriguing is Craigslist, which just recently expanded into my city.. neat stuff.
