Digg - disrupting what we call news
Digg seems to be the new black when it comes to audience built news sites - for tech news anyway. The concept lends itself to other themes - such as building an audience powered site for "real" (i.e. non tech) news (check out 180n for example).
Sites like the German Focus.de now also allows readers to rate news articles (they call it "voting") and then displays the "top 20" news items on a separate page.
How long before we see audience generated main pages appear on traditional news sites - not long is my guess.
