Reddit Vs. Digg

I was looking over Reddit today, a site that I had heard of but never really utilized, primarily because I'm typically at Digg for this type of thing. It seems as if both sites accomplish roughly the same task of allowing users to vote for news/articles that are deemed most newsworthy. Without having an in-depth view of everything that Reddit offers, Digg initially strikes me as the more efficient option of the two. While Digg is certainly not flawless, it's design and execution seems more carefully considered, resulting in a cleaner, easier to pick up and use site. Reddit's homepage is so overloaded with text that it is a bit daunting. In fact, I think the style of the site may limit whatever substance is behind it.

I love the idea behind both. I like the idea of a news source aggregating stories based on how other users like myself feel about them, as opposed to an editor high in the structure of a newspaper. Its a Journalistic socialism. But, if pushed, I'd much rather head to Digg than Reddit.
