I’m new to Digg (and other social bookmarking sites) and I have to say I’m a big fan of the global usurping of content publishing by the “oligarchy” that is the media. So I welcome the new phenom of social news sites (or social sites in general).

Yea, the scrappy-looking kid who just happened to have access to a TV camera he could look into and go, “Look at this cool find.” Not really the average scrappy-looking kid with an idea.

No doubt Digg is my favaourite among all other social bookmarking sites. You will see the best story on the top and it changes every time.

I find the Digg concept more compelling than a site such as Slashdot, but basically it was a flawed concept from day one because it encourages extreme activists and fringe opinions from the people that talk the loudest, thereby painting a picture of reality that is highly skewed. People that are too busy to submit stories or “police” a social news site, people that aren’t tech-savvy, people that don’t have an axe to grind, people that aren’t really that passionate about a particular issue — they’re left out of the process. Digg isn’t really social news, it’s activist news. And while that may be somewhat interesting, at the end of the day, it’s hardly a comprehensive strategy. (Just see how Ron Paul rules Digg to see what I mean.)

This story has no relevance whatsoever. Digg is exit.
Get it, mr. “social media consultant and a top-ranked community member on multiple social news sites”?

@ Svetlana Gladkova : are you a groupie? Keep those legs closed girl.

Stumbled here, goodbye forever.

Every time I see that video I get pissed off. He totally pimped his site without stressing the fact on national TV.

Plus, does anyone remember how he used to wear T-shirts with his web site on them?

How to be like Kevin Rose:

1) Land a sweet job on national tv with people double your age
2) Create an image as a “dark tipper” so that people will “oooh! aaah!”
3) Dress like a total punk
4) Drink on your podcast and pimp other sites
5) Cash check for $60 mil.

/me = jealous

Sorry, but this story made no sense.

Please write something relevant next time.

In most cases, uniqueness and creativity needs to be spiced up and hyped, otherwise no story would make a good read. “scappy looking kid with new idea..hey”..

Check out a few video clips of folks already experimenting with ideas that look very similar to digg. Video clips to illustrate.

Digg has turned traitor on it’s user base, and is being abandoned wholesale in favor of superior competition like Reddit, which does not exercise editorial control over political content. Censorship is network damage, and the Internet routes around it.

All these factors contributed to the success of digg. However they are true for all digg clones as well. Then what explains the inability of these digg clones to gain traffic. I think the best explanation lie in the theory of networ effect and may be paid sites like ximmy have a better chance of success.

I have written my detailed views on the topic on my blog.

I think your listing is more to a generally good article than to digg.

digg is losing it’s edge, I think it’s not going to matter much in a few years.

What I love about that video is how Kevin Rose doesn’t at any point disclose his involvement in Digg.

Which, you know, is ethically fishy.
