<description><![CDATA[... So, now I'm putting the questions to you. What do you think? Are social media sites like Digg and others simply catering to the lowest common denominator?

If so, is there any way around it?<br/><br/>7 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time, it was simple. You went to sites like Technorati, and del.icio.us and bookmarked - or maybe tagged - a site.

Pretty soon people were digging in the present and had dugg or digged in the past.It really got interesting however when other sites such as StumbleUpon and Sphinn entered the fray.<br/><br/>20 Vote(s) ]]></description>
