Digg.com is one of the most popular user generated new sites on the web.
How does it work? Register (very easy) and post any stories or content that you think is interesting. When you submit it, you pick the category (ie. Politics, sports, entertainment), write the title and a brief description of what your story is about. The story is then posted within the site and users can read it whenever they want.
If users like the story then they can "digg" it. The more your story gets digged, the more prominent it becomes on the site (ie. The top 10 most "digged" stories are on the front page). As the day goes on, more stories are dug, top stories are replaced and the news cycle continues.
It's a very interesting concept, well worth checking out if you have a second. The stories aren't the usual variety (some about technology, others about cool or weird stuff) and its nice to get some content that's different from the traditional CBC's / CNN's of the world.
