I use digg and Netscape - what I find strange is that a story can be dugg in less than 1 or 2 hours and have 100 to 200 yes votes in that short of a time frame. I have even seen a story that was only posted 10 min. and have 50 diggs. I would like for them to talk about how their system works and if it can be manipulated.

As Gagetize implied, factions will arise for one tech or another (PS3's, iPods, Macs, and Linux are my guesses), and those will dominate. Diggsters will hold up the popularity of their factions as proof positive of one tech's superiority of another, without hard technical analysis to back it up. It will devolve into furious infighting as the triumphant have nobody else to fight--for example, once Linux "wins," they'll start arguing over which distro is the best. It won't be Digg's downfall, because that's essentially what Digg is today, and it's very successful at it. Digg is an odd niche player, in that it appeals to a particularly active subset of the tech population and yet enjoys industry-wide buzz. I don't see this changing anytime soon, and adding product reviews and such only plays on the essence of Digg. To continue the theme, I’m guessing that this will be fanboy-central.

But ya i think this move for digg could be interesting but then again it could be very restricting as most of the users are from USA so the product/service reviews will be mostly in the USA and for users like myself this could be a downside. hmm very apple - 1997 - boston - bill gates big brother like with kevin being up there on the screen.
