Digging digg (or any other "social networking") stories is just silly.

Or... write an article bashing Bush or any other Republican. Best way to get on Digg's front page is to write a headline about how the Bush administration is secretly working with Bill Gates to suppress Linux or how Dick Cheney is on the board of a multi-lateral corporation that is working hard to keep Ruby down. Pop right to the top.

What is not realizing they are morons? alex.truthfully..most often folks pipe up with bad info or a general lack of information... I have sometimes done so myself..social news is not a craze it is a logical progression from what has alway been available on the internet.. Usenet is not just for porn ya know..Actually i think digg has went down hill since expanding... the commentary is becoming more of the drooler variety..than of educated people... however since Slashdot for instance is slower to alot of stories we have to wade through Digg..

I'd disagree. For me, it's the discussion that forms around an article that has been Dugg.Arguably, that's also why a lot of people never even bother to read the article, and why we all know what RTFA means.
