Digg comments, originally uploaded by Salvor.

Sites like digg.com, newsvine.com, reddit.com etc. are showing the way into tomorrows media. Everyone can write news and news are constantly getting voted upon and the most popular move up to the top - to the frontpage. But it is not only the posting but also the comments that are voted upon. I had not payed attention to it but comments that are rude and "undigged" by many will be hidden and you can choose only to watch comments by those you have marked as friends or comments that have over certain number of diggs. Therefore you can be like a herd animal, following the path of those you trust or the path that many others have gone before and found useful. I sure feel like in a ant colony in digg.

I have began to notice that the comments are often more useful than the post.
