What's new in
Networks?
Social Networking is the Web 2.0 buzz
word.
Harnessing the internet for the users, instead
of the businesses who see it only as an alternative media
outlet to exploit.
The biggest and most
well known is the MySpace
Network.
Parents fear it, social critics love to hate
it, internet users flock to it to make connections and
interact with like minded individuals from all over the
world.
In case you missed
the media hype, here's the basics from the source:

What is digg?
Digg is a technology news website
that combines social bookmarking, blogging, RSS, and
non-hierarchical editorial control. With digg, users submit
stories for review, but rather than allow an editor to decide
which stories go on the homepage, the users
do.
2.
How to promote stories to the
homepage
Once a story is submitted by a
user it is instantly posted in the digg area
queue. This is a temporary
holding place where stories wait to be promoted to the
homepage. To help promote stories to the homepage, simply visit
the digg area and digg stories you think are cool. Once a story
has received enough diggs, it is instantly promoted. Should the
story not receive enough diggs, or is reported, it eventually
falls out of the digg area queue. Digg works because a large
group of people actively promote good stories to the homepage.
Since this site's content is user-driven, it is up to YOU to
contribute.
3.
How to submit stories
Submitting stories is easy. Simply
click on "submit a
story" and enter the URL of the
story you would like to submit. Then fill out a title,
description, and category for the story. Should you encounter a
potential duplicate, please digg the original story and do not
submit a duplicate entry.
4.
How to add digg news to your
website
There are currently two types of
digg news you can add to your website, digg homepage news and
digg user news. If you would like to add the latest digg
homepage stories to your website simply click
"
add digg news" on the digg homepage
right navigation. To add digg user news, (your latest
diggs, or someone else's) visit the user's profile you
would like to add (digg.com/users/username) and click
"add this feed" in the digging history
navigation.
