    Digg biased? If true that would undermine it’s democratic ideals somewhat.

    Look at the article’s page in digg.They say it may be “Inaccurate”.

    Great cartoon!
    The power of Digg never ceases to amaze me.

    i’m lucky because these two men haven’t seen my digg submissions :D

    I’ll never understand how Digg got so huge. Anymore all people seem to do is post something semi controversial, and it jumps to the top. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even go to Digg.

    I think Digg is great - it’s the quality of the posting to it which seems to be getting worse :(

    Excellent cartoon and as true as possible :-)

    Hi Bazz, I couldn agree more :)

  11. By Brandon on Jan 31, 2008 | Reply

    I agree Bazz. Although I was never quite sure why Digg was so popular, it did use to be better. It seems to keep going down further and further. It’s also been spawning some knockoffs, although they haven’t quite caught on yet.

    Digg has really gone downhill in the last year. To many worthless spammy stuff posted on digg these days.

    Over 50% of Digg front page articles are spam. It is really easy to get on front page for Digg.

    Here the formula:

    1.Add 1000 friends, 200 will add you back within a week.
    2.Digg a new article
    3.Send the article to the 200 friends that added you.
    4.Cross your fingers and hope you don’t get bury a lot.

    “I think Digg is great - it’s the quality of the posting to it which seems to be getting worse :(”

    This is so true. It was not too long ago that I would read a few posts on the Digg home pages. Nowadays, I will be lucky if I find even one post to read. What happened to you Digg??

    Same here!;) No, not really, but it made me laugh :) Thanks!

    Very funny… Also. Sad but probably true, there are just too many people with too much time on their hands. Since Digging this won’t do you any good, I’ve stumbled it. :)

  31. By Yicrosoft Directory on Feb 21, 2008 | Reply

    With all the implementation of digg to its site, still there are lots of spammers that are trying to fool it and submit their crap stories

    That’s hilarious! I just can’t stop thinking that its so true. Why would people bother going to a social media site and spend their time burying content about certain topics? Unloved for sure…
