Reviews: Can you digg it, yes you can

Everyday I come across lots of articles relating to web design that are fair superior to anything I write here. Well thanks to a new web application, I have discovered I can now share them with you.

The estimated time to read this article is less than a minute

www.digg.com is a wonderfully simple idea beautifully implemented. It allows anybody to submit a link to any technology related story on the web and share it with other members. This in itself would have been enough to make me sign up but when I also discovered I could provide an RSS feed of my links as well as post them on my own site, I was hooked.

You will notice that on the boagworld homepage there is a new section called "articles I found interesting". This is being pulled from my personal list of articles at the digg.com website. These will no doubt update far more often than by blog so be sure to subscribe to the associated articles RSS feed. If you still are not using RSS then now is the time to adopt it. You can find out more by reading my article on RSS.

Finally remember to add me as a friend if you sign up for digg.com yourself. My username is boagworld.

In the trade these are known as calls to action. Feel free to take your pick!

    I’m using digg now too. I find it quite good at giving me lots to read! It would be good if there were more caterories to put news into – it is quite hard to select the right one for some news articles.
