What is Digg?36 Comments
- D4r7h3v1l, on 10/12/2007, -1/+42Please look up irony.
I don't mean to be one of those people, but it is getting to me. It seems that people are always saying anything that is related conveniently to anything else is ironic.
Example: "I went to the store and this guy I knew was there. How ironic."
That is not ironic. It is coincidental.
Example: "I went to the store and traded my bicycle helmet for a flotation vest. When I went boating, I ironically got a concussion from hitting my head on a low door."
That would be irony (though not very good). - progidy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+40as ironic as 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
- hellyes, on 10/12/2007, -4/+36it's about 500,000 other people's birthday's too... ironic
/sarcasm - merr, on 10/12/2007, -7/+34There is nothing valuable in that blog post. Marked as lame.
- userChris, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26I cut stuff with spoons all the time. Hell, give me 10,000 spoons and I'll sell them on ebay and buy a knife.
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19roman numerals. look closer
- happyfappy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Also: the second 'G' ain't a 'G' -- it's an '8'.
- darkzealot89, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12A very long time in Internet time. I know that the ISP bluegrass.net I work at has been around 11 years, and that's even longer and living past the bubble burst.
- swanny89, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11For those who read comments before articles, it tells them not to bother reading it....
- shitthisfook, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Roman Numeral 8. The two candles at the left are the "V" and the three to the right are the "III", meaning 8. =)
Edit: Holy mackerel, beaten by two comments. Damn. - IvanB, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8What? That's it? Lame.
- GuitaristTom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3while you are right, and the definition of irony is something that goes against whats expected (futurama had a really good episode about this), your definition is not from dictionary.com, lol
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'm probably being a bit picky but if that guy has been working for Google for 6 years and Google is celebrating it's 8th birthday then he won't be THE guy who created the Google logos...unless that it Google didn't have a logo for it's first 2 years, so he would be at best the most recent guy who creates the logos...nope I am being picky :)

This week we celebrate Google's 8th birthday, and I hope you like the commemorative logo that appears on today's homepage:
Having worked at Google for 6 years, I've been lucky enough to design our birthday images (and a lot of other doodles). I hope you enjoy reading the candles. :)"

- SirBriggs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's always 42...
- macewan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2rather harsh comment :(
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It's still 8 years google, get over yourself.
- jamesong14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Happy Birthday Goo8le !
- CharlesDarwin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@progidy -- You gay ass mother *****! I thought I had finally forgotten about that song too!
- tscheremieh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1... but doesn't say very much.
- Lavarock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That shouldn't be your story title because it leads people to beleive that he's actually talking about how long 8 years is in Internet time.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1How stupid do you suppose 'Invader' feels right now?
- twertyto, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Wow that internet time concept is a piece of crap. That is definitely not an easier system. The 24 hour day may be ancient but so is the wheel...what's the point? It is actually more sophisticated than decimal units for time.
- thefinger, on 10/12/2007, -6/+6What sort of hole do you live in? I mean besides Digg? Web 2.0 is a tech-babbler's wet dream but not much else. I don't hear people talk about the Web in 2.0 terms. It's just the Web. Genius.
- theducks, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4The obvious answer is of course: 2,922,000 ticks
see http://www.timeanddate.com/time/internettime.html for details :P - thewaz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1way too long for such an ugly logo
- Crepsley, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Happy Birthday Google!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0@GuitaristTom
Ummm, yes it is.........
Maybe you should look up the word that I stated "ironic" instead of the word your dumbass probally looked up, "irony"
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=ironic&x=0&y=0
Now look at the third entry.........oh what is that? Now..................suck it. - techdandy, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2It is a very long time since we saw the boom and the doom of the internet ventures and then some come up and survive like http://www.digg.com.
Its a very long time since people like http://www.digg.com, http://www.netscape.com and http://www.techtagg.com and a whole other social tagging sites has grown since google saw the real world 8 years ago. I mean people don't talk about Web anymore, they talk about Web 2.0! - multipotential, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3"I hope you enjoy reading the candles."
And there are only 5 candles, but goole is 8 now. Is there some sort of geeky reference I'm not getting from the candles' arrangement? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0wrong reply
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3Lucky bastich.

Dictionary.com
Ironic - coincidental; unexpected: It was ironic that I was seated next to my ex-husband at the dinner.
Isn't it ironic how you tried to correct people's use of the word ironic and you in fact were ironically incorrect?
So in conclusion my dear friend D4r7h3v1l....................suck it. - invader, on 10/12/2007, -20/+6There is nothing valuable in your comment. Buried.
- 0siris, on 10/12/2007, -21/+6its my moms birthday too...
