I’ve been using Digg as my De.licio.us (i.e., bookmark manager). It’s the easiest for me since I don’t have to write summaries or blogs about the things I want to bookmark.
But the model fails because I *am* lazy and if a link hasn’t been dugg before, I won’t go out of my way to add them to Digg. I just leave them in my open tabs for a few days hoping that the story picks up traction and someone will submit it to Digg. But if no one does, then I either decide that it’s not worth saving, or I end up blogging about it.
Which is how I ended up blogging about this story on using the seabed as a wine cellar; sometimes by accident as in the case of shipwrecks, and sometimes on purpose.
Her wreck was found in 1997, and a salvage company recovered 2000 bottles of 1907 Heidsieck & Co. Monopole. Reports from the time quote Laurent Davaine, Director of Exports at Heidsieck, saying that the Champagne still “shows an amazing balance” and “a beautiful golden hue with the effervescence still present.” As of 2008, according to Newsweek, most had already been sold at auction, but there were still ten bottles for sale at the Ritz Carlton in Moscow, priced at $35,000 each
