I chose to write this last blog entry about class articles today for two reasons.
The first, more humerous answer is that I'm finishing up the requirements for my blog and I need one more article.
The second reason though, is that I've been using Digg.com as a recourse for news lately, and have found it to be a great source of information outside of the repetetive "BIG 4" news sources such as CNN or NBC or Fox.
Digg.com is still somewhat of a fledling news association, having about 180,000 registered users ( "Digging Up the News" ) but given time, network effects will dramatically increase the sample of people using the site.
This will only improve the credibility of the articles being voted upon, as well as making the information most viewed more representitive of the mainstreem public.
Though Digg.com only will be getting better with every new user, it has already accomplished what it seems to have set out to become: a democratic source for news.
