Word of mouth works better than Google News

According to Kevin Rose, the founder of the Digg.com resource, which is a collective news blog, people are able, much faster than electronic machines, to exchange news. He expressed this idea at a Web 2.0 summit.

As an example, Kevin Rose said that information about the resignation of US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld appeared on the pages of Digg.com 20 minutes before they were published by the news portal Google News .

The Monkey Bites blog , which quotes Rose's words, also reports that next month Digg.com will boast twenty new “features.”
