Since its launch in 2004, Digg has seen strong and largely unstoppable growth. While there has been no dearth of competitors and imitators, none have been able to upset Digg's lead in the social media space and in its goal towards democratizing the web.

The News link on msn.com is different from the Nieuws link on msn.nl.

msn.com sends you off to MSNBC while the msn.nl sends you to an extension of msn.nl, not the leading Dutch news corporation.

Right now, Nieuws is a lil more enticing than News. **just my opinion**

P.S. tophtucker: If they did translate KICKEN & DUMPEN to English...your buttons would say KICK IT or DUMP IT.

"MSNBC would use a bit of work."

Huh? I love MSNBC! I think it should stay a dedicated "big media" site. MSN, on the other hand, would definintely benefit from a little more social interaction and such. It'd be very cool if they rolled MSN Reporter out in other markets and did that feature-the-top-stories thing on MSN.com. That would certainly drive a lot of traffic to it.

And yes, I do have a deep desire to click some "Kicken!" and "Dumpen!" buttons.

KICKEN!

DUMPEN!

Haha, they should keep those even if they roll in out in English-speaking markets. :D

Hey I know this! It really is a pretty good extension of the MSN Nieuws. People who never went to the news page started heading over. And it's probably going to get better.

It would be cool to add this [or something like it] to msn.com.

MSNBC would use a bit of work.
