digWin.com Goes Beta: "Microsofties" Rejoice!
My Singaporean friend Shaji Firoz invited me to participate in digWin.com -- a Microsoft Technology-centric community news/discussion site. Much like Digg, the digWin community members can submit posts. Popular posts gain recognition by being "voted-up." digWin.com is sponsored by MessagingTalk.org .
