Video sharing site Metacafe has launched a new dedicated Digg Channel.

The channel features Metacafe video that has been "Dugg." Users can find videos that are the "Most Dugg" and "Recently Dugg" on Digg.

By using combined input from these two community sites, Metacafe is offering another way to find videos that are the most popular with viewers. With the Digg Channel, users can see what videos members of Digg favor along with what is popular in the Metacafe community. The Digg Channel is being promoted throughout the Metacafe Web site, and Digg is featuring the channel on the Digg site.

"The Digg Channel illustrates our commitment to putting viewers in charge of their online entertainment experience," said Erick Hachenburg, CEO of Metacafe.

"Like Digg, we are all about exposing the content our community deems best and making it easy for people to discover something they're likely to enjoy. This shared philosophy makes the Digg Channel a great addition to our site."

Metacafe uses audience feedback to promote the most popular videos. Its review panel of 80,000 volunteers takes a first look at the videos that are submitted to the site each day. Its VideoRank system measures each user's interactions and reactions to a video, highlighting those that receive the best response.
