  1. 3 Reasons why I hate Digg

    1. Everyone Digg or Bury the stories but only 5 to 10 percent actually read the stories.
    2. Sometimes people just digg because of the "M-Saleem" or "Mr. BabyMan" Avatar.
    3. Stories Suck big time....

    Okhey I said 3 but let's add a couple more...

    4. Selfish Friends,,, They'll only digg your stories if you're scratching their backs...
    5. You cannot send private message to your friends, You can only Shout, so DIGG isn't promoting the friendships, which is the very essence of Web2.0.

    I can definitely Add a few more points but will do it in some Blog Post ;)

    Anyone can append this list of mine and can change where they find something wrong.

  2. I can't believe that hit front page of Digg. Oh wait, yes I can ;-) And likely due to the algo trying to promote noobs, so it doesn't take more than 25 - 40 diggs to break FP regardless that the story was not front page news.

    Not that I don't feel new users deserve a break, but this is a prime example. Where are the 'human moderators' when you really need them ;-)
