Cheatsheet: What is Digg?

I only surf at +5. Fuck the plebes.

I'm trying to figure out what happened here. Has Nick gone native in the Valley, brunching with Googlers and writing up a massively geeky post?

Or did Gina login to the Valleywag account instead of Lifehacker when posting this?

The comments for this story's submission on Digg covers the most important thing this cheatsheet forgot to mention:

Digg commenters are idiots.

It's a wonderful reminder of how idiotic the general populace is, and flies in the face of Web 2.0s reasoning in general.

There was a reason we had news editors, and a reason why you have to surf Slashdot at threshold +4, which Digg has not properly addressed.

This is a great post - I'd love to see you doing more summaries like this, especially of smaller, more obscure companies.
