190+ Digg Tools and Resources [updated]

Are you looking for Digg Tools, hacks and services for a powerful Digg experience? Digg is one of the most popular social media website. The concept behind Digg is very simple, basically it is designed for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the Internet, by submitting links and stories, and voting on submitted links and stories.

A huge amount of stories get submitted every day, but only a handful (most Dugg) stories appear on the front page. In the recent past it has become very difficult to make it to the front page, unless you have some loyal friends, you won’t make it to the Front Page, but not this seems to work every time.

Digg has one of the largest audience, comprising well over 4 million daily visitors and hundreds of thousands of active members. I too am an active member on Digg.
