Digg is compared to reddit because they are nearly identical in their function. Digg is about comments as much as reddit is. It just so happens that the comments on reddit are slightly more intelligent and Digg is more commercialized. My opinion about Digg has nothing to do with Kevin Rose nor is it because "all the cool kids" think so too. The communities surrounding Digg and reddit are ideologically identical to icanhazcheeseburger's. The core of the communities are founded on populism and memes.
