- djliquidice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I think the concept of DIgg is off the chain. HOwever, you have a bunch of block heads running around here digging ***** (yes that's a relative term) stories or links to ***** that is not really news. It all seems to be one huge popularity contest. I'm more at home in the untainted "upcoming" section than the home page.
- da5idblacksun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This article shows 2 submissions of the same story when in reality there were probably 30. The dupe problem needs to be addressed:
http://digg.com/software/Scientific_Evidence_of_Digg_Dupe_Problem - koregaonpark, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Last time I checked Digg wasn't exclusive to news. To quote Mr. Rose himself, "Digg is a social news and bookmarking site." I emphasise the 'and' in the previous sentence.
digg.com/about says "Digg is a user driven social content website." Content' isn't just news.
Life is a popularity contest, live with it. - koregaonpark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Who's promoting the presenter? The guy who's submitted a story is hardly even mentioned just a little icon and an obscure user-name. If anyone is in it for the so-called "fame", they'd best question their motives.
Only a few Diggers can really say they're famous thanks to Digg, one of the being Mr. Pacino. - Cuppojoe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Certain aspects of life are a popularity contest, it's true... but I have to wonder if this was the original intent of Digg. Would it not make more sense to promote the content rather than the user presenting the content?
I agree that it's not all about news here. And I'm glad. I see enough news in the day, and I'm often just looking for something "cool".
I like to look at the highly-Dugg items myself, because I think I'm a pretty average guy that will like what the average person likes. But, to find that "average", I find that I need to click on stories that are VERY highly-Dugg. This isn't because I want to "follow the masses", but because I think there's a smaller chance of bias in a larger sampling. Pretty straight-forward, really. Personal popularity can only carry a user so far... the REALLY big numbers require strong content.
And that's where I'll click.
