It's a bit of a catch 22 since the content there today appeals to a certain audience that reads that type of content that appeals to that audience, etc, etc. My take is that they will need to go out with a broader PR or marketing campaign to get more diversified in their audience, content, and hence reach.

All kidding aside, I'd love to see a nationwide poll performed and see how much name brand recognition Digg has in mainstream America. I'm betting the NYT would come out way ahead. I agree with DTB.

Personally, the so called category expansion at Digg doesn't really seem to have changed much. Most of the popular stories in the other nontech categories seem to be the types of things that would have been submitted and dugg under the old sorting system. Until the audience changes, the content will remain pretty much the same. I'll also add the obligatory note that the commenting system still sucks and the comment rating still promotes a fanboy hegemony.

Digg is NOT a news site. Digg points users to other external sites containing news. 2. The NYT gets thousands (if not millions) of hits from Digg. 3. Comparing hits is a shell game. 4. Rabid Digg fans will now flood the Internet just to prove this "fact" wrong--don't you guys get the fanboy culture yet. I don't turn to digg to get my news, I turn to digg to help me find my news (and even then it's NOT my sole source). There is a difference. In fact, while I do read an occasional story in the NYT, they have no mechanism to point me to other sources--that's not their model. Comparing apples and oranges can often make for some heated arguments, but usually just ends up producing fruit salad. Whoever began comparing Digg and NYT made several fatal errors:
