businessweek.com— "With its audience expanding and interests diversifying, the popular site is launching new features to help users find like-minded friends"

From the article: "Instead of submitting stories for review by the larger Digg community, users will be able to send—"shout" in Digg terms—story links along with messages to particular Digg friends. Friends, or small groups of friends, also will be able to chat or discuss stories on their personal pages with posts to a message board, a feature akin to the "wall" on Facebook."I hate to exaggerate, but this seems like the death of Digg. I don't mind adding user interaction, but preventing stories from being dugg, if that is what is happening today, doesn't make any sense to me. I rely on Digg for interesting and important news.
[quote]Digg is about the news, not the users[/quote]It's about both. If it was just about the news, we all have access to RSS feeds. Digg is a good place to get a wide-ranging view of a topic, and sometimes (sadly, not often enough) get even better or more accurate info than from the story itself. Especially when it comes to heavily propagandized and censored news topics like Iraq.
"With its audience expanding and interests diversifying"WTF?ALL I ever see here any more is f**king apple and linux stories! Seriously, thats about it! There are the occasional MS bashing submissions, but other than that its all just f**king apple apple linux apple linux OSS apple linux as far as the eye can see.

Reddit would be ever so spiffy if only they would figure out what GUI is.

Uhh, guys, how about waiting for the features to actually come out before you go on criticizing them?

This is just part of the new and coming Web 3.0 world where the internet will start to have meaning for the users through socail networks.
