What is Digg?68 Comments
- suxmonkey, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26Digg is not a blog, and Kevin Rose's blog is not that influential. There is no way Kevin should be in second place - they are clealry just trying to get Dugg with that move. They also (incorrectly) indicate that Kevin's submission front-page rate is 100%, which it isn't.
- srodolff, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16And so if all of the 50 most influential bloggers dropped dead right now, what would happen? NOTHING, because all the websites mentioned will exist after the bloggers are gone.
Ok, not entirely nothing. The Digg community will have a massive soul searching, prayer-riddled, mourning postfest for Kevin Rose. It may actually cause "The Digg Effect" on Digg itself. - scottique, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13No Jerry Holkins or Mike Krahulik. No Perez Hilton. There are some obvious *bloggers* missing from this list. The article isn't a list of the most influential bloggers, it's a list of the most influential people behind the internet's major destinations. No doubt, a list of powerhouses, but a lot of these are simply the frontman face on huge compilation efforts (like Technorati and Gawker).
- crackedplastic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10"Fifty most influential bloggers" is inaccurate - while many of these people have had influence in the blogging community (particularly on the business side), they're NOT all bloggers.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I agree with you on all counts. It's not a blog. But look:
It is 101%
http://digg.com/users/kevinrose/profile - ferndave, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Who?
- ciano, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Influential bloggers! That's a good one!
- Shadow503, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5"All he does is whine and complain. That's not blogging; it's bitching. He hasn't contributed a damn thing to the world."
You two must have a lot in common. - SkippyDoorknob, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Thanks for sharing that amazing information.
- harvinator24, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5No DVORAK.ORG/BLOG. if you didn't get it right yet its http://dvorak.org/blog/
- whatthefu, on 10/10/2007, -25/+28***** blogs. Seriously.
- cgomez, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Oh, and Nick Denton is a douche. I don't believe anyone can refute that.
- pralph, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4***** you, seriously
- alberto24, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3pure suck up post
- Economist35, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I agree, Matt Drudge is mysteriously omitted. Maybe because he has a radio show? He should be on there.
- wileygrl77, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Where's Perez?
- perryjoyce, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2No, seriously, he's right. The 50 or so that might be worthwhile - and that's an inflated number at best - do not make up for the other million or so that are egotistical, self-indulgent, self-promoting and self-absorbed. The blog is all about me, or as Time so eloquently put it - YOU - and I couldn't care less about YOU.
- PsyWolf, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2lack of Maddox makes me sad
- akashra, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Fifty? Why not make it a hundred? A thousand? A million!?
Why do people insist on making long lists that don't really narrow anything down? - pgillan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I only got through like the first half dozen or so entries on that list, but it seemed like all the ones I saw were people who blogged about blogging. Is that what blogging is? People writing about writing for other people who write about their own writing? And commenting on said writing? Of the "literally millions" of bloggers out there, how many are actually, you know, writing a log (on the web) about something that's not blog related?
- picsectionpleez, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4When they speak the "blogging world" listens. All 50 of them
- Webbster, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3As mentioned above Perez Hilton is missing as well as Matt Mullenweg, who has got to be considered to be in the top 10.
- sexybobo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3when i read bloggers i thought it said bloppers which would have been a cool article unlike this crap.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+5Blogs are paving the way for modern information dissemination. If you don't care, spare us your asinine comments and go back to watching funny Internet videos of cats falling off things.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1yeah? and you're a fag
- monsterofNone, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2this according to a site that can't stand up to the digg effect.
- gamemaker, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Buried for the top five being people who run Internet or blog sites, but not people who actually SAY anything on blogs.
- norbiu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I love his shameless plugs on TWiT.
- cgomez, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2http://duggmirror.com
- tehmoth, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2yes, which is about the sum total of the contributions of the '50 most influential bloggers'.
- tehmoth, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1there's a smart boing boing editor? "Rule the Web"? Really?
- mrogi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Matt Drudge has got to be the Michael Jordan of bloggers
- sexybobo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1http://duggmirror.com/
- ButterBuddha, on 10/10/2007, -5/+5Buried as Lame
- DolphinGL, on 10/10/2007, -5/+5No Maddox. Buried as inaccurate.
- Pullthemob, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I didn't see Lolitron on there, I'm not impressed
- inlove, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Wikipedia is a group blog!
- ivebeenhigh, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2that ,for those that missed it is, dvorak dot org slash blog
- DracoFlameus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1"These are our Fifty Most Influential Bloggers, and if you don’t know them, you need to."
riiiiiiiiight. - splice, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I am so pleased that I know not one of those individuals. Life affirmation; thanks digg. (back to irc)
- ecidnac, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I think I'm familiar with every single one of those sites, and I don't ever visit more than three or four of them. Many of them feel so... I dunno. Phony? Plastic? And Kottke... Well, I've been bored to tears by Kottke for the better part of a decade now. I haven't a clue why he's so popular.
- reddevil3, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Oh Jesus not Michelle Malkin!
- exousir, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0The 'influence' of bloggers is inversely proportional to the popularity of sites such as Digg.
- cizzymac, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Michelle Malkin? LOL!!!!
Buried as inaccurate. - known, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Isn't Wikipedia a blog?
- solidtransient, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Jeff Atwood should have been on this list.
http://www.codinghorror.com - ClaudiuUSA, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0You obviously have more stupidness than him.
For saying "stupidness." - cschaffner, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Good list. I would've added Real Live Preacher in there somewhere. Large following/readership. Great storyteller.
