Digg selects content that is interesting and entertaining and shares them online for free. Digg has a slew of editors and they look for material, available on the net, that is current and will be enjoyed by their users. Articles and videos are shared on the site. Topics vary from technology, science, news, entertainment, Donald Trump, and lifestyle. They also have original content published on the site. Digg originally allowed visitors to vote and comment on materials posted. In 2010, the site underwent a complete overhaul and it is what it is today. Commenting on each material is not yet available today but Digg created a community forum for such purposes.
