Please don't link to personal blogs.In a side note, I'm personaly getting a little tired of the "What will Google do next?" "They're taking over the world!" stories. Lets try and leave those alone for now.

2 things - the what will google do next, is a hot topic. Therefore I felt this commentary to be "diggworthy." If you don't, don't digg it.Since it is a commentary, it is on a personal blog as opposed to an actual news site. Because you do not feel a blog is newsworthy, doesn't mean it isn't to other people.

3.) It's not a hot topic, there just happens to be too many duplicated submissions, rumors, and theory's of google lately. It gets very tiring. Whether you think it's a hot topic or not, this whole site is not dedicated to google.

ShaneE: Myself and dude3609 are doing what social bookmarking is all about. Collective editorialism. I'm helping to keep Digg moderated and I think that's what Digg is all about. I do what I do and you (ShaneE) do what you do. Sound fair?

My point is that putting a comment on a digg item isn't really editorialism. Thats what the moderators do at slashdot. Censor things and you get censored ideas. Let the people choose what they want to see and read. Digg isn't all about collective editorialism, digg is about people choosing the news that they think is important and digging it. If enough people digg an item it gets to the main page. Thats how digg is collectively edited. Not by you running around in your digg police gitup and commenting on posts.

sovereign3 - As a former editor of a newspaper, I agree with you in part. (On a side note I think this is a very good discussion on what news really is.) The part I agree with is the collective editorialism. The part I don't agree with you is how you are presenting yourself with the implication to other people that links to blogs are not welcome and that this is a duplicate post. As I have observed elsewhere, it is neither.Though by having this discussion in the comments -- it equals out. Comments, by some interpretation, are news as well.

A point for us to all consider, and yes I am saying that even though i submitted the link in the first place.
