More than just a "small potato"?

Anyone who's anyone now a days knows all the big name social media sites, like Facebook and Twitter. Because of these big social media sites, we tend to overlook some of the sites that aren't in the spotlight 24/7. These sites are known as the Internets "smaller potatoes". This would include sites such as MySpace, Reddit, Digg, and many other sites that have been pushed to the side. The question that remains is should these sites be more than a "small potato", or should they just be forgotten all together? I feel as if Digg should be more than just a "small potato". 

Digg is a social media site that once was very popular, but then got pushed to the side by Reddit and then all the other social media sites that followed that. Now, I know that Digg and Reddit are VERY similar, but I feel that Digg should definitely get more attention than it does now. The site is full of news stories that I seem to find very interesting. You're probably wondering, "Why is she picking Digg over Reddit?" Fair question! My reasons are as followed: 

1) It has a professional feel to it. When you go to the site, there isn't a bunch of goofy and silly stories. Of course, there are probably one or two not so serious ones on there, but it's mainly factual information. It's a good site to go to if you want solid information on a topic. 

2) It's eye appealing, which kind of goes along with the professional feel it has. The site is very clear cut, which makes it easy to look through the stories to pick and choose the ones that are the most appealing to you. It also had less ads on the side, and not as many subcategories, which can get confusing and make the site look messy and not put together. 

3) Lastly, it's easy to share the stories you read with other social media sites. After you're done reading an article, there's a tab bar in the bottom in which you can link up with the bigger name social media sites. You don't see that on Reddit! This would have to be the most appealing feature to me. I know that after I read an interesting article, I like to share it with my Facebook friends. This is the feature that won me over, by far! 

In conclusion, I definitely feel as if Digg should be used more than it already is. It had good, solid information that's worth sharing! Digg isn't a "small potato" in my book!
