While many are unsatisfied with digg, I think it’s served a good purpose and opened the floodgates for other (better?) social news networks. I’ve found that propeller, reddit, fark and stumbleupon are all comparable and often more democratic.

Digg is like buying pay per click on Google and Yahoo. It’s mostly a fraud!

I am working on a site which try to solve many of the problems with digg.com.
You can find it on http://crowdnews.eu.

The main problem with digg is the voting system.
When only top voted stories get on the front page it has
to be a subject that many can relate to,
which result in stories with a low information content.

Crowdnews solves this by using sharing instead of voting.
Every have a personal news page on which they can subscribe to other users and when those users share stories they will appear on the personal news page.

I joined Digg some two months ago. I had joined in the hope that my blog can get some recognition as like thousand others.

I started making friends and Digging articles. I use Firefox. So, I used to go to the friends submission section and open them in tabs and Digg them. I used to Digg about 400 to 500 daily.

Suddenly, without warning, one morning I found my account banned a fortnight ago. I received a email saying that Digg banned my account due to using a script. I tried to figure out what is a script by googling and came to some DiggMonkey or something like that script but I still don’t understand the matter.

Anyway I have joined Propeller and I am happy with my props!

Huh? Kevin Rose himself spoke to the marginal social relevance of DIGG recently.

Basically it’s a few million kids daily doing 10-15 things each.

“Bloggers fear DIGG” ?

I think not.
