What makes the people that have submitted more digg stories better than the ones that have not. I think it's really unfair. There's a lot of people's who's stories are never ever seen, an then yet again would they just suspend these poor members' accounts. They should be shameful!

I love digg because it can drive more traffic to my websites :)

Well the problem is that getting on to the frontpage of Digg = $$$.

As this is the case then there will always be people who will do anything to abuse the system...

'the ability to form friends lists and “shout” to those friends about news stories a user wants promoted. '

But if you take this away then it also takes the social out of social bookmarking too

Not surprising.
One of worst news and peer sites I've ever visited.
I knew something was up when all the same topics kept getting to the front page and much of the stories are practically irrelevant in the real world.
And then you have all the same type of irrelevant comments that makes little sense.
Seemed very much like a propaganda site that promoted random topics in what someone "thinks the web should be".

You stated. "For all that is good and likeable about Digg.com—this idea of democratized, collective-wisdom controlled news discovery process—it has never lived up to the ideals behind its inception. From the outset one mob or another has ruled the roost. (Ah, there’s your fundamental human truth, right?) The current mob will likely be replaced with another, perhaps by teams of marketers investing the time to befriend and shout out to one another, or some other like-minded mob."

This is exactly what Digg.com is if you take the perspective of a pure/true democratic society, which includes no accounting for faction. This is what the Federalist Papers warned against and why true/pure democracies, such as those found in early Greek city states, ended up in conflagration/war. The mobs as you refer to them are factions usurping the ground base of reason for empty votes of popularity or control of a valuable resource. This issue is when will the unheard voices of Digg.com rise up in rebellion and how? If I were a member of Digg.com's corporation I would be concerned with a competitor taking advantage of this issue and offering a service that does promote excellent stories.

Just food for thought.

Digg is like a high school where a s,all clique of "cool kids" controls everything. You can post a link to a real story like "Iran Sinks USS Nimitz" and it will be lucky to get two diggs. But if a member of the cool clique over there posts a link to "Top Ten Ways to Recycle Your Cat's Furballs" it will get 3000+ diggs.

It's just a waste of time.

We run a news and commentary website. We run a lot of original content, we also do some 4-and-a-link pulls on news that is germane to our commentary and editorial thrust.

For a while, we were getting healthy traffic from Digg Referrals. Suddenly that traffic dropped off completely. We got the word from someone that Digg was no longer accepting referrals from our site. My partner inquired to Digg as to why we had been effectively black-balled, and we were told, in a rather curt and dismissive email, that "you don't run original content" which was quite untrue. We were also told that this came from complaints from "their user base". While we don't have an official political stance, some of our original commentary comes from left-of-center, and we were told by a credible source that the complaints were lodged by a group that had taken it upon themselves to purge Digg of sites that they perceived as being inimical to their own ideologies.

Ultimately, it became clear to us that there was no resolution method for this situation that was not a complete waste of time for us, so we just moved on.

That said, it appears that Digg has become not unlike a neighborhood of 9-year-old boys, building forts and not allowing anyone who isn't them in, because they have cooties.

And that sad fact makes them as useless as mammalian protruberances on a male of the genus sus.

Like anything on the net once too many people start using it somehow it becomes abused. I no longer use digg sad it used to have some great stuff now it's become so juvenile. Thanks for bringing up good points!

It doesn't hurt to see who is advertizes on Digg, boycott them, and let them know you are boycotting them and why. That is exercising the freedom of speech that is oppressed on Digg.
