Can you Digg it?

Here is an example of how blogging, posting, RSS feeds and social media are changing the way news media works.   I've just found Digg, which is a technology news website that employs non-hierarchical editorial control.  With Digg, users submit stories for review, but rather than allowing an editor to decide which stories go on the homepage, the users themselves do.  This an intriguing concept in web based democracy, where anyone can contribute, and an editorial collective (of people like us) votes on how prominently the story is featured.  And Digg have just announced that they are moving in to broader categories, beyond just technology.  Definitely a site and a concept worth watching.
