Delivers the most interesting and talked about stories on the Internet right now MoreLess

Digg is a news aggregator that provides a curated selection of trending stories from the internet. Originally founded in 2004 by Kevin Rose, the platform allows users to discover, submit, and vote on news stories, videos, images, and other online content. The most popular stories, as determined by user votes, are featured on the front page.

After a period of decline, Digg was acquired and has since been rebooted with a focus on leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance content discovery and compete in the modern social media landscape. The company operates in the digital media and news aggregation market, serving a broad audience of internet users seeking to find and share interesting and talked-about content. Its business model is primarily based on advertising and sponsored content.
