I do not miss Digg at all. Why would anyone support thought-policing organizations like Digg? They willfully give into the hordes of mediocre and fascist thinkers that strive to put down individual ideas. Great ideas often come from individualism and not the group dynamic and that is why Digg allowing the Bury system is an absolute joke that is now coming to bite them in the ass.

Good riddance to Digg, I say.

Sweet, sweet truthiness.

I’ve been on digg far less than I was for the first year or so after I registered.

Change is slow to come, and often poorly implemented, while ignoring, as you’ve noted, obvious or underlying flaws.

The recent changes — especially shouts — are pretty annoying. And the external profile linking, to me, seems a last gasp effort at becoming a true social media hub — which digg could have, and SHOULD have, become a year+ ago. Now they’re playing catchup, and I, for one, am not feeling it.

digg? dugg!
