Digg

Digg and Public libraries are similar in the way they are customer driven. Customers are going to request what they like and not what we think should be in the library. I thought Digg was very similar in that regard. We are just as driven by our demographics as Digg is. I'm not sure if people think of public libraries any differently then they did before. On what qualifies as news has always, in my opinion, been generated by what public opinion has wanted to know about. I might think something is not news worthy, but if a large mass of people feels it is, that's what people are going to want to know about. I find it all kind of in a grey area. Things like digg and diggita can be useful that you can weed out what you want to know about it, but I'm not sure I want to get my information that way.
