That said- most of the items that appear in my feed reader from interesting places on the web will show up in my Digg feed. I certainly don't waste my time reading the comments unless there's some metadata I need, but the feed itself is fairly comprehensive if you're willing to live with a low signal to noise ratio. Another benefit of Digg is that there really is no possibility of censorship or editorial spin- if something happens, you can hear the whole story fairly accurately on Digg.
