Do you Digg it?
Call me stupid or blind but until a few weeks ago I must admit that i'd never even noticed those little yellow Digg buttons on the reviews. Last night after reading the latest 8600GT review I finally decided to find out what it's all about. Done a little research and apparently it's a little tool that allows you to spread the word on reviews.
Just a suggestion really but if you happen to have found a review useful, entertaining or well written why not click the Digg button and hopefully it'll introduce the article to someone else who could benefit from it.
Now that I know what it's all about i'll be spreading the word. Just click on the Digg link, complete a very quick one time log in and bask in the happy thought that you could be helping someone else in the tech community.
So do we have any other users that regularly use it Digg it or am I just late to the party again? How about any users who have been introduced to DH through the Digg system?

Good point Lelisevis. It really helps us out, and gets the reviews/articles seen by a larger audience.
If anyone hasn't done so already, it only takes a minute to register at digg, and a click of a button to show others that you like what we put out.

I've seen these "Digg" buttons here and there, but never cared to find out what are they good for...
How does it "spread the word" exactly? What happens when I click the button? The article goes to some "article list" where everyone can see it or what...

Good question, all of your diggs help to bump a article to the front page of the digg webpage found here Digg / All News & Videos people then visit that page, see the article and are directed to the review. Top topic at the moment only has 202 Diggs so with our large userbase it should be relatively easy to attract like minded people to the community. Something that in the long run will benefit us all.

Well. If article gets more digg's than 60 it will be posted to digg's front page and more digg's more visibility for that article in Digg's site.
