- Phant0mMaster, on 12/03/2008, -9/+152NO! Without this site I'll never become as cool as MrBabyMan!
- rpong1981, on 12/03/2008, -3/+98I'm buying 1000 diggs to get this to the front page
- THETEH, on 12/03/2008, -4/+96I'm glad digg's taking an active role against this crap.
- nikpappagiorgio, on 12/03/2008, -2/+53uSocial's biggest clients: failblog and kittens
- Darthyoshiboy, on 12/03/2008, -0/+50Dugg, despite the fact that a Cease and Desist is not a banning by any stretch of the imagination.
On the topic of banning, I don't imagine that it'd be too difficult for Digg to smoke these guys out:
1. Set up a lame page about something which no one should conceivably be interested in digging by themselves.
2. Pay uSocial to get it on the front page.
3. Ban the initial flood of users that get the page to popular status. (These users are obviously on the uSocial take)
4. Rinse and repeat.
5. ???
6. Profit! - inactive, on 12/03/2008, -12/+62One of there smartest decisions in a long time.
- Zaneris, on 12/03/2008, -6/+43I would've dugg your comment, if it were not for your improper use of "there", the word "their" is what you were looking for.
- Dweller99, on 12/03/2008, -3/+40"IN ADDITION, YOU HEREBY AGREE THAT YOU SHALL NOT USE THE SERVICE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, BY “DIGGING” ANY CONTENT) ON BEHALF OF (OR PER THE REQUEST OR INSTRUCTION OF) ANY THIRD PARTY."
Doesn't the "digg my stuff!" shouts conflict with this? - jhuik, on 12/03/2008, -0/+31How many companies are selling diggs without stupidly broadcasting it?
- jhuik, on 12/03/2008, -3/+34You also ended your first sentence with "a preposition." ararar.
- username7410, on 12/03/2008, -2/+29They're going hire people to bury this thread! OMG!!!
- Skab, on 12/03/2008, -3/+30Or MrBabyMan will fade into obscurity finally...
- inactive, on 12/03/2008, -2/+29There is a flaw in your logic. Try being a nobody user and subitting a sotry like that. It will not get more than 10 Diggs. No matter WHAT the topic is. And if you are a nobody Digger and actually submit content that is very interesting and is Digg-worthy (front page worthy even), then one of the circle jerkers will just steal your submission and subit it themselves.
- inactive, on 12/03/2008, -0/+27Step 1: make a top 10 list about [ron paul] , [kittens] , [mario paint], [xbox vs. ps3]. Step 2: make sure cleavage is in your all of your images so thumbnail has boobage. Step 3: save $880
- Syni, on 12/03/2008, -2/+25I'd have to say Top 10 lists and XKCD.
- MightyLime, on 12/03/2008, -0/+22"The word 'their' is that for which you were looking"? No.
You can end a sentence with a preposition if the alternative makes you sound like a dick. That's roughly the rule. Seriously. - QueensGangsta, on 12/03/2008, -1/+21Is that how everyone gets 900+ thumbs up too? I always wanted that.
- Sendai129, on 12/03/2008, -2/+22Maybe he can pay for it with a picture of a 7 legged spider?
- breanna5, on 12/03/2008, -2/+17Pretty much, but who is keeping track of any real logic around here? If Digg say it be, it be!!!
- Timmmm, on 12/03/2008, -2/+17You mean the daily mail?
- sockpuppets, on 12/03/2008, -2/+16They already got what they wanted, they converted the increased traffic into 25 million funding. All from digg/reddit spam I bet.
- ZincSaucier, on 12/03/2008, -0/+14well i suppose i just got my last check from usocial..guess i'll have to tell the kids that santa isn't coming this year
- Chakat, on 12/03/2008, -0/+13Digg is expressing their rights to post a no trespassing sign on their lawn. This is absolutely within the bounds of a free market.
- SirFlatulence, on 12/03/2008, -0/+13Maybe its time to start asking about some of the sites (cough..huffington..cough) that seem to continually appear on Dig when their content wouldn't seem to really be of as wide an appeal to most diggers as the clicks indicate?
- patpl22391, on 12/03/2008, -6/+19Huffingtonpost next?
- addiktion, on 12/03/2008, -2/+14They need to calm down on those glossy fake web 2.0 buttons. They are annoying the hell out of me!
Sincerely,
a web designer - LoveWidescreen, on 12/03/2008, -2/+13Ask MrBabyMan and MakiMaki. They probably run such companies.
- inactive, on 12/03/2008, -1/+12***** all you bastard spammers.
- Myztry, on 12/03/2008, -3/+13You do realize that these Digger's doing this for money will have connections.
That would get rid of a whole bunch of organized blind diggers responding to shouts, such as Mr. Babyman. - Myztry, on 12/03/2008, -1/+11The agreement (TOS) is between yourself and Digg. Anyone else (including other Diggers) is a third party to that agreement.
- andoru, on 12/03/2008, -3/+12So if they have this magical way of turning $100 into $1000, why are they letting other people in on the act? Surely, if it was real, and without risk, then they would be turning all their effort to performing this trick themselves. But no, instead they just collect the $100 and let "investors" shoulder the risk.
- Telekenesis, on 12/03/2008, -0/+9Just don't forget to pay in Monopoly money.
- codelogic, on 12/03/2008, -0/+9People will do far more "indecent" things when they are in need of money. Voting (digging) is probably near the top of that list in terms of decency.
- opticwind, on 12/03/2008, -1/+10We're making your dream come true!
- jamshid, on 12/03/2008, -1/+9cheers to digg, death to bots
- inactive, on 12/03/2008, -15/+23You got Kevin R0wn3d!
- nikpappagiorgio, on 12/03/2008, -0/+8Or you can wait for it to be dugg up and not spend the $880
http://usocial.net/products/ - jaybol, on 12/03/2008, -4/+12yes this is jaybol, how can i help you?
- inactive, on 12/03/2008, -0/+8And the problem with that is?
- thanakar, on 12/03/2008, -2/+10I know a hooker that ends all of her sentences with a proposition.
- Thinkerofthings, on 12/03/2008, -3/+10I'm sold
- inactive, on 12/03/2008, -0/+7Isnt it odd how almost every single gamesradar story on the homepage is by Makimaki?
- simg, on 12/03/2008, -1/+8and your point is ?
- Phocion55, on 12/03/2008, -3/+9I clicked a Huffpo link once by accident in Digg. I was mortified with myself and promptly cleared out my browsing history.
- subxero37, on 12/03/2008, -3/+9Yet you ended a sentence with a preposition.
Take it easy, I'm just being a jackass. - Telekenesis, on 12/03/2008, -1/+7Yes, that's what I was looking for :D
- opticwind, on 12/03/2008, -1/+7I...don't...think...you...can...nitpick...words...like...that
- Swipecat, on 12/03/2008, -0/+6Cool. It's not a legal "cease and desist" as such -- it's just a "demand". But now that Digg have unambiguously stated their intention and the reason for it, they have cleared themselves for tweaking their filters, and if necessary banning some Digg users to block the gaming of their system. So now they can deliberately kill the viability of USocial without any legal worries. That's how it's done.
- OneLess, on 12/03/2008, -1/+7Jaybol?
- meed, on 12/03/2008, -0/+6Could this be how all those top bond lists keep appearing on the front page a few weeks back?
