Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Winter Solstice or any other Holiday this season… I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

With the evolution of Digg.com, we can see a new technology evolving. Digg combines social Bookmarking, Blogging, RSS, and non-hierarchical editorial control. Unlike most news portals and websites, with Digg, it is the user that submit stories, reviews them and decides which stories go on the homepage, not an editor.

Since the introduction of Digg, already there has been a comparison made by an article done by Wired: ‘Digg Just Might Bury Slashdot‘. Now, the tables have been turned on Digg! There is a new Bookmarking/Blogging site very similar to Digg that is gaining strength. Where Digg focuses on Technology, Shoutwire - which is very similar to Digg- now has a broader range of topics that you can "Shout" instead of "Digg". Will this Bookmarking site feel the heat of Digg or give it a run for its money?
