Ok for someone that came late to the party - what is digg?
"Humancentric technology at the edge" - love this in my sci-fi books but what does it do?

A community driven link aggregator site. Think of a cross between Reddit and a forum. It was one of the biggest sites/communities in the 2000s.

That's not quite right: Digg was closer to a pure link-sharing site, being able to comment and discuss was lackluster.
Digg <-> Reddit <-> Webforum
That's what it was but what will this reboot be?
besides "It was one of the biggest sites/communities in the 2000s" you're describing HN
Kinda like HN but you could share political news without it getting flagged.
It's where Reddit's userbase came from but it isn't exactly like reddit. It was more like HN until they ruined it to make the investors happy and instead investors got their investment killed in one day.
it's the missing link between slashdot and reddit.
The buzzwords are news aggregator, or social bookmarking.
Kind of HN for the masses. I don't remember if there were comments but one could vote links up or down.
Reddit before reddit.
It's del.ici.us after del.icio.us
don't forget /.
