New Version of Digg Revealed @SXSWi
- zzzmarcus 17y agoI'm curious, does anyone who reads HN still read Digg as well?
- elleferrer 17y agoI'm sure there are folks out there that do Digg, Reddit and HN all together. RSS feeds through something like Google Reader help a bunch. And it's good to see Digg reinventing itself - that's always a plus for any company.
- ElbertF 17y agoI find it more surprising that HN people read Mashable.
- rimantas 17y agoI frequented digg before I found HN. I do sometimes go there, but run away in horror quickly.
- jbm 17y agoNot sure why you were downmodded; I agree with your sentiment exactly. I have found it very difficult to read Digg for the past year or two, similar to how I can't read Slashdot anymore. The highest voted articles are not really that interesting, and you'd think that technical/scientific articles would be more interesting to a group of self-supposed "rationalists". Instead the site is morbidly political, with each "group" colonizing its own set of articles and never interacting. I much prefer the level of conversation at HN and a handful of blogs. If you feel that this is a mis-reading of the situation, I strongly recommend this thread: http://digg.com/tech_news/Digg_Saying_Yes_to_NoSQL_Going_Steady_with_Cassandra http://digg.com/tech_news/Digg_Saying_Yes_to_NoSQL_Going_Ste... Sort by the highest dugg comment. There are two that I noted at the top that were somewhat interesting, but the rest were just not useful; me too style comments to the extreme.
