Design Float - Digg for Designers
I stumbled upon a new site today that is pretty cool if you are A) a designer of some type and B) you are a fan of the Digg. The site is called Design Float and it is a Digg clone that focuses on design in particular.
I like this site because it focuses on more of what I find interesting, without having to search for it like I would have to on Digg. My other complaint with Digg, is the fact that a lot of the content on Digg is useless in my opinion. A lot of content makes the front page that has absolutely no reason to be there, which can often times put better content on lower pages.
Design Float seems to already have a pretty good following and there seems to be a pretty good collection of information hitting the front page. I also like the fact that even though the primary content is based around design, the content is still categorized into more specific areas of design. This is great because I can immediately browse my particular area of interest quickly, without reading through content that may not be of interest to me.
All in all, even though the whole “Digg” type of site has been cloned countless times, I think that Design Float has cloned the concept well. Hopefully the site will gain a bigger following and continue to provide worthy content to the design industry. Check out the site and let me know what you think.

Hi Cory,
yes I agree, I also find most of the content on Digg useless… I think this is because that the digg system (getting agreement in a crowd on what is useful) does not work for the question whether an article is relevant or not… check out http://www.managingio.com/2008/03/29/why-digg-works-and-where-it-fails/
