- stevesearer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3'dugg' is trademarked as well according to the footer of digg.com
- beadza, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3surely duggdot.us would've been a better name?
- stevesearer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Before anyone gets fussy about this, it is the digg trademark that was in question. On a site with ads that syndicates digg stories, it would be difficult to argue that it compliments digg. Pretty useful service though, this will probably help them get more users.
- stevesearer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Hmm, its buried now. *sigh*
- toxicredm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2My thoughts exactly. Did they replace the digg content with news about Snoop Dogg?

Typical Digg-- think they came up with something interesting, now they are trying to protect a dictionary word. Misspelling does not a trademark make!
Digg is really effing lame, and kevin rose is an airhead. - abzolutxero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2all i have to say is LAME. i realize this is my first post on digg... but jesus, i have been lurking via diggdot.us for a very long time... i just want to get the top stories of all the sites in one convienent place, and then stop over to digg or /. when i have time to poke around.
what is the use of building a community if you are going to send these C+D letters when someone starts driving traffic to your site. - bwizard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I have stopped respecting Digg for awhile now, many it is like an over grown version of the supermarket tabloid....oh yah and I hate Kevin Rose.
- yuletide, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1f-ing lame. lame lame lame!!!!! Not in the spirit of copyright law! Someday these laws will burn... mark my words. Protecting innovation my arse.
- tcpvtec, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This is a foul thing to do. Slashdot and del.lic.ious.....(whatever lol) has more than enough info for me. Nice job Kevin Rose...attack your fanbase. Yeah...real smart. The only reason I came to Digg itself was just to post this. Now I'm going back to doggdot.us.
I'm going to get a dictionary and start trademarking every word in the dictionary THEN SUE WEBSTER'S hahahahaaaaaa.
