Digg Plans Expansion
December 5th, 2005The darling of the new Web is planning on adding more news categories (I’m not sure why they don’t use tags) and other media such as video and audio. From the article:
“Adelson’s hope is that the method will end up being faster and more reliable than both the wholly automated search engines, and the wholly people-powered sites like Slashdot–which relies on human editors to push stories to the front page. ‘It’s incredible how fast it [Digg] is growing. I think one of the reasons why is because it revealed one very serious advantage over those older models,’ he said. ‘That is, it’s much faster. If you’re looking for fresh data, current data, or very dynamic data, a search engine relies on the crawling technology, an editorial board takes days to process and publish.’” (via Memeorandum)
