Digg Goes to the Source to Avoid Duplicates
Digg’s CSS started to go a little crazy about 10 minutes ago, which is a good sign that we would start seeing some new features showing up… and Digg didn’t let us down.

The changes begin as soon as you attempt to submit an article. Digg immediately goes to the source of your submission and scrapes the page, analyzing various aspects to determine if the content might be a duplicate.
If Digg suspects the content might be a duplicate, then they display the possible duplicate submissions for you to review, before you even begin the submission process.
