hi DDN community -
the community-edited tech news web site named digg.com is now getting 130
million page views per day. a new version of the web site is going to be
launched soon that will extend the scope of the news beyond tech news to any
kind of news. i predict it won't be too long before digg.com gets a billion page
views per day.
so if you submitted a story to digg.com and the story was dugg (i.e.
community voted) to the front page of digg.com, you would have a lot of folks
seeing that story. you might potentially have more than a million persons visit
the web site listed in the story -- whether that site is connected with your
work or not.
see http://www.publish.com/article2/0,1895,1918172,00.asp
for further info on this.
if you'd like to keep track of digg's continued rise, use google alerts to
send you an alert once a day with links to news articles mentioning digg.

yes, digg.com's success will force old media (i.e. newspapers) to quickly
find ways of having more community partipication. if they don't, their
precipitous decline will continue.
