Have you been to Digg lately? If you visited any of the stories there, you may have noticed that they just added a new “Related Stories” section. These links show up immediately after the main headline and description on each story page, which you can see from the screenshot to the left.
As of right now, the stories being pulled by Digg are a bit hit-and-miss. Some of the stories are very related to the main story on the page, but others are way off. Some of the related stories links even go back as far as 2-3 years ago. In some cases this could be helpful, but usually information that dated won’t be very relevant anymore.
This is a really cool idea though, once Digg gets the kinks worked out. I would love to see a variety of sources pop up for whatever story I’m interested in. For example, the hot topic right now is Mike Shanahan being fired from the Denver Broncos. Being a Broncos fan, I want to know anything and everything.
