Last Friday I took an inside-out look at social news community Digg.com by showing you what it looked like and went over the key functionality. In this edition of whiteboard session, I want to dig (pun intended) into how the system works as a community to add value to the users.


This functionality has been copied by many sites (Netscape.com was and recently shifted away from it) and is a good model to keep in the back of your mind for the future.

If you know of any topics, acronyms, technobabble or other sites you would like to see covered in a future post, please drop me an email.
