Since when did we consider any of the other popular sites a credible news source? The only different between my blog, and the NY Times is that they have more money than me, and better writers. If you are making that claim based on who's information is more factual, I'd again draw a comparison to the NY Times who has been found to be vulnerable to inaccurate information.Bottom line: I've written many interesting, insightful posts on my blog and submitted several of them long ago. People blasted me as a blog spammer despite when it was 100% original content and don't listen to reason. Let's face it, Digg is a site that wishes it were truly ruled by the masses, instead of fully dominated by the popular few posters and popular few sites that grace its pages, which is the reality.

I always love it when you click on a link and the site is down from all the traffic it's suddenly getting from Digg.

I've also got quite a few spam comments that have all the links intact but have rel="nofollow" in them. What are they trying to achieve by doing that?

Why not? Everyone and their mother seems to call it a "serious" battle - look at BlueFrog and similar companies.
