  • lamestory, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2dude, if you haven't figured it out yet, Digg is a retard-friendly regurg of TechCrunch. Save yourself the time and just read that site. Unless you're obsessed with UBUNTU, then this is the place for you.
  • jblade, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1never :(
  • Rethcir, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Why do these companies think that they can simply copy youtube, facebook, etc and make a ton of money off it? Most people are gonna go to the original when they want to watch short movies or whatever anyway. Then again, Yahoo has been copying other peoples' ideas for like 15 years at this point.
  • CharlesDarwin, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Flash 8 warning.
  • terrax, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4When will the large internet companies innovate rather than acquire?
  • zohn, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Is it JumpStart or Jumpcut??? Sheesh, at least get the title right!!! And why is this already on the front page with only 28 diggs??
  • maiku00, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Yahoo Video looks disgusting in that expandable layout.
  • Four20, on 10/12/2007, -5/+44 people with over 150 front page stories dugg it.
