Has Digg Dug its Grave?
My Gmail account has been empty as of late. No shouts from my Digg friends.
In fact, except for a few direct e-mails from a few of my Digg friends, I hardly ever visit there anymore.
Which leads me to the question of the day – has Digg dug its grave?
Several weeks, maybe even a month ago, Digg removed the ability to shout a post to your Digg friends. I vaguely remember that they also said they would give us a replacement for it, but I’ve yet to see a new solution.
The shouts were what I believed made Digg so user friendly and easy to maintain. Now, it’s tedious to remember to go back to Digg daily and see what’s going on.
Now, the only option is to share the article via e-mail, twitter, or Facebook.
Excuse me Digg, but I’m not going to take the time to purposely login to your site just to post to my twitter account and Facebook. Did you think you would just be able to ride the coattails of popular social networking sites without doing your own work?
Today in fact, except for a @mashable entry on the Top 5 Funniest Fake Facebook Pages, there’s not the same level of activity I’ve seen in the past.
Maybe it’s just me?
What’s your feelings about the removal of shouts in Digg? Do you think they dug their grave? Comments welcome!
Have a great week! I’m off to write this weeks Security Digest!

Same for me. I haven’t been on Digg in so long, I have forgotten my password. Even when I was on, I hated all the Liberal BS. I was kicked off twice, and finally set up an alias, and learn how to “work” Digg. Living like a criminal on a social network. Just their way of keeping this brotha down!

You must’ve been posting stuff they didn’t like! And yes, I think they are slanted toward liberal BS because anything contrary to that gets booted!

I’m certainly not visiting Digg that much anymore. And the quality/number of the articles submitted seems to have shrunk, too. Yes, Digg has pretty much brought their own shovel to the grave site.

Excellent! I can’t think of any more deserving than Digg with the liberal agendas they zealously endorse.
One thing though? I’m not going to the funeral.
