For at least the last six months I've found digg to be a better geek news source than slashdot because it's the users who submit stories and the users who dig(g) the stories to promote them to the main page.   This is a very quick and effcient system, but it's not perfect.  \nToday I submitted the  story Hawaiians considering independence (http:\/\/digg.com\/science\/Hawaiians_considering_independence.).\n\nToday while talking online with my brother who's in NYC right now and he mentioned that his current residence is beside the Chinese consulate.  I made a joke that he might soon lose his sovereignty and find himself living in exile in a small corner of the Indian consulate.  I wasn't sure how to spell sovereignty\n at the moment so I gave it a quick Google.  Hit three was a web page about Hawaiian sovereignty.  I shared this with my brother and mentioned that it was the kind of link that gets 200 diggs on digg.com.  His response: prove it.\n\nAlmost six hours later and the story has 11 diggs.  So I was wrong, but the good news is the concept of user-edited content (like a Wiki) is proven viable again.\n\nIncidentally, digg is a one of those Web 2.0 sites that use that other new buzz word: AJAX.  I plan to announce my AJAX based project in the next week or so \ud83d\ude09\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may have heard about the article on beer I got submitted to Slashdot &#8211; that was a good story about health research at Western, and I&#8217;m glad I was able to share it.
