Digg and Diggnation were so crucial to me seeing how the internet was really becoming something new (and I was obviously a TechTV fan before that). It lead to me learning about so many things about computers and OSes and made me give Linux another chance when Debian and Ubuntu were brought up on the vidcast (and attempting to use my laptop as a Hackintosh though it wasn't able to go things like go online or do any 3D but was cool to try). So I guess other video/audio-casts were fun to see take off. The great Blu-ray keys protest that flooded the Digg site was also one of the first kind of big internet protest I was able to watch in real-time and participate. lol
