Digg: a temple for the self-important

When I say this, people will say, ‘here’s another disgruntled’ person dissing Digg.

I hear Digg has undergone yet another enhancement – got itself horizontal navigation, the in-thing for news websites. It also got more into Videos, geeks love that but perhaps it is too late.

It is the web 2.0 version of traffic enhancement tool – bloggers need it; news site.

That aside, this traffic tool is in hands of so-called cabals.

As for news intelligence, forget anything outside geek-‘telligence’.

However, when you say anything negative about Digg, the madness of crowds takes over. The geeks do not want to hear any negative remarks.

That’s not good for Digg.

Either Digg becomes a Myspace for Geeks (for traffic, self-importance) or it may become an important news tool.

Right now, the field for a useful news recommending site is wide open – a service which has not become private property of some insiders/insiders wannabes in the Silicon valley and elsewhere.
