Digg, which just relaunched in January, lays off staff and shuts down, but promises it's going to 'rebuild with a completely reimagined angle of attack'

Remember Digg? You might if you're of a particular online vintage. Launched in 2004, it was basically Hot or Not but for websites: Users would submit links to websites, and others would vote them up or down as they saw fit. It was a good way to find cool content stuff, and for a brief period it was all the rage. Most websites back then, including PC Gamer during its Wordpress era, had a "submit to Digg" button to increase the likelihood of being noticed and loved.
