I Don't Dig Digg

Loaded up Digg on to my blog a couple of weeks ago using the widget.
First I selected Design as an option for the articles I wanted to look at, but seemed to get a lot about car design, which was not of interest to me, so I switched to the Health ctegory.Very weird stuff comes up now, the informed along with the plain whacky!

24 warning signs you can't afford to ignore
Surely a fast track to becoming a hypochondriac!

Wikipedia describes the editorial control of Digg as non-hierarchical and democratic, as news stories and websites are submitted by users, and then promoted to the front page through a user-based ranking
system, differing from the usual hierarchical editorial system that many other news sites employ.

This sounds good in theory, but I have found that there is a lot of stuff coming up that I am just not interested in, so I'm definitely not a Digg fan.
