Thing 12 Do you DIGG?

So, my last entry for this year with Thing 12. I was doing well, keeping on top of things but unfortunately, caught the virus that's going around school - (that's the germ-virus - nothing technological!) so I've been under the weather for about a week and yes, I'm doing my last entry the night before this is due!

Anyway, I went to digg and dug in (pardon the pun). Interesting! You can see what others are reading and share articles yourself. I read a couple of articles, one on the Archie comics, which I read as a kid, but this article was on Archie comics with a distictly Christian story line. Interesting! The reviewer was obviously not a fan of either the faith or the comics. That led me to think about who posts the articles/blogs and then who writes comments? hmmm . . .

The other article was about a swan and a deer in Great Britain. It had 302 diggs and 39 comments and was "made popular" about 1 hour 12 minutes ago. This just illustrates the global world of 2.0

Then I went to Readit but our school has it blocked from view so I went on to Newsvine. They say this on the web site: Newsvine is an instant reflection of what the world is talking about at any given moment. I read an article posted today about the last survivor of the Titanic who passed away today in England.

There's just so much to see on the web. I'm continually amazed. We still get the daily paper but I wonder . . . .
