Here, Digger! 

According to the L.A Times' nifty new Doggy Database, it turns out that 50 pooches in the area go by that very name. 

Raising the question: How long would it take 50 dogs named "Digger" at 50 computers to submit the exact same set of stories that Digg users have already submitted? 

Also receiving an honorable mention is the guy who went a step further and named his pup  "Digger dawg."

But, as often happens in discussions of Digg, "Buzz" is getting unfairly left out. There are actually 124 L.A. dogs named Buzz. I was shocked to find that no local owners named their dogs "Delicious," even though dogs abound with names like "Dr. Ruff" and "Betti Spaghetti."

Four local canines are named "Google," making it, according to the database, the 9,100th most common L.A. dog name. 

If you find any funny Web 2.0-related dogs, please send along and I'll add to the post.

That database is a great tool. I must have searched about 50 names at least.
