Digg

Oh, Wait, Katie Couric Actually WAS Wearing a Digg Shirt on YouTube?

I thought it was a hoax at first, then I saw the whole video. Ok, ok, it's easy to mock, and a lot of people are doing that. But as Mr. Lacy pointed out, "It's really cool that she gets it or her people do at least." As he further pointed out: The Inquirer doesn't even get the basics. Good point.

More from Mr. Perspective, via IM:

"it's a huge break. it's still really mainstream and people are getting it. it must be exciting. Kevin is just a guy who started something that people really like. maybe some day it will happen to us."

That is pretty much the magic of Web 2.0, isn't it? Also puts our own little echo-chamber in perspective. It's fashionable to think Digg is done these days, but it's clearly still spreading.
