Use Google to Search Through the Digg Database

Digg is a wonderful social bookmarking service; however, the duplicates in the system make it painful at times. Using google to search prior to submissions will help make digg a better service.

If you don’t digg, you should. This new social bookmarking service is a great way to get the latest and greatest news and links. It works by people submitting good links… and then everybody votes (or diggs) the best ones.

Digg is so busy; however, that duplicated and similiar articles get submitted all the time. This dilutes the field and makes digg a weaker service.

Digg’s search is not as powerful as googles, but by combining the power of digg with the power of goggle, duplicates could be eliminated!

Here’s an example url to get your started:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&domains=digg.com&q=technology&sitesearch=digg.com

This link will search digg for technology. You can replace technology with whatever term you wish… or just click the link and enter your search term on the google page.
