online.wsj.com — Some apparently thought Digg's appeal could be imported. Executives at Netscape.com, the home page for the once-popular browser, last summer redesigned their site to make it Digg-like. Netscape.com had been a "traditional" Web portal, displaying news and feature stories selected by editors.

"Tech bloggers typically genuflect before Digg, regarding it as a founder of a new kind of democratic journalism."Congrats, Diggers, you are all now officially known to the mainstream world as a bunch of fanboys.

Oh yeah, A pseudo journalist wanker at The Wall Street Journal! He is SO the arbiter of what is hip!!Funny, I always thought that WSJ was the one who has always been the "opposite" of "hip". Unless a bunch of old corporate fascist wannabees is somehow now "with it". Yeah, Lee, keep telling yourself that. This is another article that points out all too clearly how scared the Old Media is of the new citizen journalist revolution. I hope WSJ ends up as irrelevent and non-credible as WaPo is. Nobody takes either paper seriously when it comes to politics, and the only thing WSJ has to hang it's hat on is the more academic and non political business news, and, knowing them, that stuff is probably slanted too to maximise the profits rich speculators can make duping the general investing public.Down with you, WaPo and WSJ, and good riddance to bad rubbish. The end is near for the likes of you. I, for one, can't wait to see you all on the unemployment line.

Beautiful! Even if it's not true it is quite a nice idea.
