Getting paid for digg is the last thing on my mind - I use digg because it's fun, resourceful, and valuable to people getting their message out when the message suits the audience. The rationale for that point is more that there IS motivation for gaming the system, and people will do it if that is not addressed. Digg has accomplished the hurdle of critical mass - which is a HUGE acheivement - that critical mass, however, brings in a new set of issues including folks that will game the system. Encouraging proper incentivization for users to maintain a level of integrity will increase the liklihood for success. Don't believe me? Have you tried submitting to dmoz in the last two years without buying off an editor?Incentivization doesn't necessarily have to be strictly monetary - but it does need to be addressed.
This article is so stupid I don't know where to begin. **Hey Digg. Get your blog off Blogspot and get Leo Laporte on the boards and then you'll really rock! /sarcasm
my 2 cents: not gonna happen.Google is a search engine, it helps you find useful thingsDigg is a 'social bookmarking site thingy', it helps you find fanboy articles
I think that digg is nice. For something different all together. Let Google do it's own thing. I don't think that digg should be a search engine for the entire web
Digg is also a verb as well. Whenever you see a button at some blog piece telling you to "Digg It!", then.....yeah, you get the idea.I wonder though, can Digg be used as an adjective?
@mcatrageWhy did you say "Can't"? How hard is it to type out "Can not"?It's called convenience. If it saves him time, good for him. Just like it saved you time to use that contraction. Stop tearing people down over trivial stuff.

The main difference I see between Google and Digg:I use google to get my work done...I use digg to distract me from doing work I need to get done!
