- dillyhoo, on 11/26/2007, -1/+5So, does this allegory mean that Kevin Rose won't do anything interesting again for 30 years and ruin his career with a crappy Robin Williams movie?

- grimward, on 11/26/2007, -0/+1Dugg for the circular reference.. digg refers to the article which refers to digg which refers to the article which refers to digg which refers to the article which refers to digg which refers to the article which refers to digg which refers to the article which refers to digg which refers to the article which refers to digg which refers to the article which refers to digg *falls asleep and wakes up 30 minutes later*
.. circular logic ftw! *diggs* - chokeaduck, on 11/26/2007, -0/+1I think I was a member of StumbleUpon before Digg... I wonder how that places me in the way of the family...
Great article, two of my favorite things, social media and arguably one of the best movie series (bar the last one) ever. - PhilMoskowitz, on 11/26/2007, -0/+1I'll take obtuse analogies for 500 alex.
- OBKenobi, on 11/26/2007, -1/+1Porn is the motherfather of the internet.
- einfeldt, on 11/26/2007, -1/+1This is an interesting article, but the title and the basic concept is hyperbole.

- volcom88, on 11/26/2007, -2/+2Porn is the Godfather of the internet. Social Media is the bastard child.

- themaestro18, on 11/26/2007, -0/+0Hmmm, I'd rather not have a dead horse in my bed!!
- lindoran, on 11/26/2007, -0/+0I did read the article, however my point was, to question the comparison, not disagree with the articles observations... I understand that the author of the article believes that these social networking sights are like characters from the godfather... however... I question weather that's appropriate. Like the one hit wonders of the 90's is it possible that these social networking sights are a passing fad? or are they truly a constant force as the article describes ... I guess i have to get better at stating my thoughts more clearly; however Yes I did read the article, it wasn't that bad to be honest. I hope that this clears things up.
- roshan123, on 11/26/2007, -1/+0kyo bai tu hi replay kar taa rahega kya who ru? gaaand maaaaaara tairiiiiiiiiii
- lindoran, on 11/26/2007, -4/+1Well if social media is the mafia/godfather of the internet... then what is C|net or Slashdot or even Digg? Dose social media control the internet or is it merely a reflection of a post 90's generation need to be on the yearbook comity? Time Tells all but for one thing is certain cash is king and some of the above listed sights have a lot of it.... perhaps social media is not the godfather but a passing fad, a glimpse of right now; I say social media is the Crash Test Dummies of today... A great band in there own right; but who plays it anymore besides Lucy (XM54 in the us). Lets think before we compare greatness with ambiguity and passing fads.
