noun

Etymology: From Digg + -er.

  1. A user of the American news aggregator Digg.

    THANKS TO DIGG, the Web’s most frequented news-ranking site, we now know: Geeks like gaming gossip, incendiary technology policy stories, and NASA photos. Diggers vote early and often, and can get breaking news to the front page surprisingly quickly.

    Redditors are similar to Diggers (twentysomething geeks), albeit the former are slightly more educated and gender neutral.
