Very interesting things are happening around Digg at the moment.

First, they changed the news voting algorithm to avoid the group votes and make newdiggers’ life easier.

Second, Elite Digg-ers cried against this change.

Third, Digg community responded with the Yahoo! Pipe which shows the Diggs from Elite Digg Crybabies.

Digg is changing.

@13 popdup?

Come on man, you’re not even trying. What did you do, search and replace “digg” to “popdup” on the digg source code? I mean, even the color scheme is the same. Really, really sad.

good or not, Kevin R. earns his money with Digg (:

I can not explain that it would be so bad if they tripled the number of users

I always take registered figures with a pinch of salt. If we take Digg as an example over the last 2 years I have registered and confirmed atleast 6-8 accounts and it only takes 5 minutes to register a handfull of accounts.

How many other users out there have registered many multiple account ?

I was never able to get into Digg. I agree with @5 and @7, I haven’t found any interesting new stories on it that I haven’t already heard and I registered for it last year, and never even used it or have logged back in, since.

Personally, I prefer Diigo as my social bookmark site of choice. StumbleUpon isn’t too far behind that.

Although I still use Digg, I think it has lost it’s spark. It seems only a handful of users get to be on the front-page everyday.

Why do you need to be a “programming sleuth” to figure this out? Digg’s own API tells you how many users there are. See http://services.digg.com/users.....c.digg.com — according to Digg’s own data there are 2,211,964 users.

I would say a large amount of new accounts over the last couple years are splogger/scraper/spammers that are trying to game the system. I know there were some blackhat initiatives off-and-on during that time frame trying to game their system. Same goes for mySpace (and probably Facebook as we speak as things turn more “mySpace-esque”).

Digg use to be cool, before everyone used it. Now it more or less sucks.

I still don’t understand what Digg is for. I never came across a single interesting story there which I hadn’t seen yet ages ago.

I think you mean March 2008, not March 2007 as stated for the 3-year mark.
