Digg News & Articles

As you settle in tomorrow evening with your bucket of chicken and foamy six-pack, you’ll want to know which Social Web destinations you should go to to augment your traditional TV viewing enjoyment.

If you’re the kind of news junkie who just has to know breaking stories before everyone else, here’s the place to come. Twitter obliterates TV, radio, blogs, news websites and everyone else when it comes to getting breaking news out fast.

If John and Sarah get caught making out in the campaign bus en route to Arkansas, the Twitterati will be posting it ahead of anyone else.

Google Chrome

Google launched a new browser this week. You may have heard something about it. It’s great, far as we can tell (here’s our take on Chrome), and is tailor-made for running rich web applications, because it runs RIAs in seperate tabs in their own environment, or something. Which FireFox and IE do not. Which is why FF 3 crashes like a mutha and why IE usually runs like a 3-legged dog.
