YouTube Can Digg This

Web 2.0 is much more than just the catch phrase of the day.  You only have to peruse the internet for a short time to see that the social networks (the very heart of Web 2.0) are taking over.   YouTube is already one of the hottest Web 2.0 sites.  It is now making it easier to connect with other Web 2.0 networks.

YouTube has announced that it will be adding a button to allow users to Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit, and basically mark the entries so that it is easy to post them at other social content sites.   The “Digg this” button is probably one of the most exciting features.  Digg.com has a strong hold on Web 2.0 in its own right.

While it’s good that the different sites are making it easier to connect to other social networks, I’m not so sure it’s all good.  My last major tour through Digg provided me with hours of pointless, worthless, and mindless information.  I actually WANT more than entertainment out of my computer.

Like anything that is good, people have a way of making it bad.  It would be nice if you had to get a license (or in some way proof your value) before being allowed to surf the Web.
