I had an idea over the weekend that the "Digg" concept can be a good way
to help extend the reach of posts about OpenSolaris being made by
OpenSolaris enthusiasts. With that in mind, here are submissions I made
over the weekend:
http://digg.com/users/opensolarisLnks/submitted
Note also that the the nickname I'm using is "opensolarisLnks" to
indicate the singular focus of the articles submitted via this account.
Why digg.com? Well, tech people are always looking for better ways to
filter technology news, and it seems to me the wide-open thumbs-up/down
concept is a good one. The Wisdom of Crowds[1] kinda thing.
For further reading, here's a list of "popular" write-ups about Digg via
Del.icio.us:

Of course it has it's detractors too, for example, Russell Beattie,
thinks the voting system is flawed. See:
