New Tools -- digg and vox

Hi class,

Just a couple of new things you may work to checke out:

1. Digg, the social bookmarking and rating site -- users rate content posted by others and popular contents go to the front page of the Digg site -- it also shows how many people said "I digg it."

http://www.digg.com

2. vox, the blogging tool that give bloggers the power of creating a neighborhood and choosing which members of the neighborhood get to see the blog posts.

http://www.vox.com
