The death of Digg is not exaggerated

Days of "The Digg Effect" are long gone
By Stuart Anderton

Friday at 17:18 BST

Since Digg came out with their much vaunted version 4 at the end of August, the social media blogs have documented in detail the trail of disaster which will surely become a case study in how to screw up a social site in business courses across the land.

Most recently, statistics have begun to emerge about the drop off in traffic at Digg.

MAYBE THIS IS WHY (see below)

2. V4 is garbage.

I used to have Digg set as one of my start pages. ...not any more. I even gave them some time to "work out the kinks" after the upgrade.

3. I hope I find out what Digg is before it dies.

On the other hand, who cares what it is/was.

4. Digg, the use of a shovel to make a hole for oneself.......

Edited on Mon Oct-04-10 02:50 PM by DainBramaged

social media, beyond my everyday needs..........we block ALL the sites at work because of the huge distraction.

(edit) had to answer phone;

This is serious shit, these scumbags (and scumbag is the operative word) have really made pushing the ConJob viewpoint a priority.

And we, the unpaid unherded cats of the Left, can only sit in amazement of their feats.

7. R-Teabag

There are a few differences of opinion within DP, although for the most part, they are extremely similar in perspective. They hate Obama. They hate progressives. They hate the UN, diplomacy, and peace/disarmament efforts. They hate reforms of health care, Wall St., and immigration. They hate science, in fact many are creationists, and some even blog about it. They hate the secular nature of our nation. They hate environmental protection, requiring polluters to be responsible for their own cleanup, and especially hate climate efforts. They hate unions and any attempt to level the playing field to give all Americans economic opportunities. They hate the government, except the military-industrial complex. They hate abortion rights. They hate public schools and really hate higher education. They hate anyone in the media except far right personalities like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Michelle Malkin. They hate anyone who doesn’t think Obama is a secret islamist and/or marxist who was born in Kenya. They just love to hate.

9. I am living proof

that someone can live a happy and fulfilled life without ever having visiting Digg. I've never been there, but to me it sounds like putting tap water in a plastic bottle and selling it for a dollar to whatever fools are stupid enough to buy it.
