What is Digg?5 Comments
- tomboy501, on 11/12/2007, -0/+11Profilic shout-sharing your own story will replace quality content as the route to popularity if the trend continues. ...it's ultimately going to degrade the quality of the site. I can't believe digg staff didn't see this coming when they built the feature in with the changes...and still continue to leave it the way it is. Therefore, I assume it must be part of The Master Plan.
- atdigg, on 11/12/2007, -0/+9I completely disabled shouts, I got tired quickly of people who wanted to digg their story.

You can "share" a story just like Digg, but you only get to send it to 5 people at a time. I've sent a few, but it's so time consuming when you have dozens or even hundreds of friends that it discourages it's use (at least for me) unless you have a really good story that you really, really want to share. If Digg did something like that, it would cut down on the spam, at least a bit.
