The collaborative technology news site Digg, will no longer just be technology news! Digg is a news site that allows people to submit stories for others to vote on. The stories that get the most votes are then moved to the front page. Up until now, Digg has been a place where tehcnology geeks went to find their news. Digg has announced that they will be adding other news from entertainment and world news to politics and much more.
Some reader’s of Digg have voiced some concern over the new change. Some have said they are hoping that they will be able to choose the categories for the content that interests them most because anything other than technology news would not interest them. Others welcome the change and would enjoy some new content to read. Digg readers, what do you think about this?

I’m a Digg user and I wouldn’t want to see political, entertainment and world news in the links. I come to Digg for technology news. If I want to read about what going on with politics or in the world I would go to cnn.com. And when Digg does adapt this new feature with all sorts of news, I think there should be a way for users to filter it out of their front page news.
I agree with you Max. I only look for technology news but I would sure think that they would also offer some kind of filter abilities. I would actually like the ability to filter out some of the categories that they already have on there.
