  • inactive, on 06/21/2008, -1/+111Thats great, but ***** Forbes. I can't count how many Forbes articles on digg I buried because of the short useless articles that spanned 10 pages chock full of ads. Even worse, all the "slide shows" that feature ridiculously small pictures and automatically switch every 5 seconds while jamming up your screen with ads. Even worse, just going to that site means your speakers are pumping out some annoying ass advertisement while a video plays on the screen. For a publication that caters to the affluent, they couldn't get any tackier.
  • mikephimikephi, on 06/21/2008, -1/+56Why isn't the Forbes Digg-channel spread across 10 autoloading slides?
  • GoEKniGhtofNi, on 06/21/2008, -2/+29is it a slideshow?
  • Asheis, on 06/21/2008, -7/+21Alright, I might be alone in this.. but who the hell cares?
  • pinje, on 06/21/2008, -4/+17digg intergration may be good... but at the end of the day its still forbes.com
  • 10goto10, on 06/21/2008, -0/+8The only reason I'm digging this story instead of burying it is your comment.
  • inactive, on 06/21/2008, -4/+10Buried as lame.
  • gwinerreniwg, on 06/21/2008, -0/+6I've come to the point where I won't even click through an article that goes to Forbes.com anymore. Well said, koft.
  • Realnemesis, on 06/21/2008, -0/+5Yeah, try looking at a Digg article that takes you to Forbes on an iPhone.........

    On EDGE....
  • rajulkabir, on 06/21/2008, -0/+5Exactly. I ***** hate those Forbes slide shows so much. The auto-advance thing is one of the most irritating things on the web - you go to the site, then flip to another window to check an incoming email or something, and by the time you flip back, it's advanced and you have no idea what is going on. Often it even advances on my while I am sitting and looking at the photo. Adding insult to injury, the "stop" button only stops that one slide; as soon as you go the next one, it reactivates the auto-advancing. It's astonishing to me that such a big and established brand would work so hard to annoy its readers. It's also an important lesson that something that seems quite trivial can really alienate people if it's irritating enough. Like gwinerreniwg says, if I see "forbes.com" in a Digg link, I don't go anywhere near it.
  • CrushThemTorg, on 06/21/2008, -0/+4Bury Forbes until they fix their awful presentation.
  • ndngoat, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3***** THE FORBES SLIDESHOWS!
  • dsmx, on 06/21/2008, -2/+5I don't mind people making money as long as it goes to the people who actually made that product rather than the middleman.
  • Yshinozuka, on 06/21/2008, -9/+12Even if Forbes sucks, it's nice to know that Digg is being integrated into more websites.
  • javaroast, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3Buried for the spam that Forbes has become.
  • tendonut, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3I take it Firefox 3 is the first version of FF you ever used. No one would actually promote FF3 because of Adblock when Adblock has been available since like 1.5. Ever hear of the 2008 Mazda3? It has this engine that makes it go.

    There is just something about your comment that bothers me..can't quite put my finger on it.
  • endlessoul, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3Which makes it all the more pointless.

    Nice try, Forbes.

    Maybe Digg won't be so resistant to your bandwagon-jumping if you didn't whore yourselves for ad impressions on each little tidbit of a slideshow you present.
  • weemundo, on 06/21/2008, -0/+3*nods*
  • ysss, on 06/23/2008, -0/+2You had me at "***** Forbes".
  • Venti, on 06/22/2008, -0/+1Buried as Forbes.
  • Lazydriver, on 06/21/2008, -0/+1Why should the middleman get the most profit when it's the recording artist that, you know, actually creates the product? It's like saying the distributor is worth more then the producer, which is *****, cause, honestly, a producer can get by without a distributor. Not the other way around.

    In short, the artist should be paying the advertisers, not the other way around.
  • glinsvad, on 06/21/2008, -5/+2*clicks Digg's link to Forbes website, clicks their most dugg item, clicks Digg's link to Forbes website...*
  • inactive, on 06/21/2008, -9/+5Poor move by Forbes. Everyone knows the "moral majority" of digg hate capitalism, enjoy stealing intellectual property, love hippies and tree hugging, and hate the idea of someone else making money.
  • inactive, on 06/21/2008, -6/+1Why? The middleman does work too and should be compensated, moron hippie anti capitalist *****! Get a job, as a middleman.
  • eq2s, on 06/21/2008, -7/+120 Comments, 359 diggs and in the top 10?
  • danegr, on 06/21/2008, -8/+1I don't have enough money for forbes to mean anything to me but at least I know now that they are forward thinking and might pay attention to a story that gets a lot of diggs!
  • TheFunnyDigger, on 06/21/2008, -10/+2Nice job Digg!
  • inactive, on 06/21/2008, -13/+3Heard of Firefox3?.. Well there's this nice thing called Adblock... Make sure you try it out later.
