A tool isn’t stupid or good, it has a use if you don’t have a use for it then don’t use it. Don’t hate something you don’t have a use for, it just makes you look like a republican, or an old person.

The addition of categories is in response to user requests, and market research. Beat it nerds the addition of politics/sports/yes even entertainment news will not take from (y)our experience of digg.
………in fact if they added the ability to not only restrict what categories you see but then allowed you to restrict down what diggs you see. By what categories those users have visible…..so then you could restrict YOUR digg experience to just news about x-men action figures from/by/for people who care about x-men action figures. But otherwise shove it on trying to restrict the worlds experience via digg down to what you care about.

In fact I think bringing more digg’rs to the effort is always a good thing, by whatever means they are drawn in. And the best way to make heads or tails of what is going on is going to be with analization tools.

Good work Kevin, Dave, joel, DrBenway, and anyone else who offered constructive criticism, or adds to the collective conscious that is digg.

flame on…..all you others

peace!
