I wouldn't say I am perturbed. I would say I am amused by all the "guess-timations" related to digg whenever the subject of "Digg is dead" comes up. I feel that there are very few people outside the digg power-users who understands how systematic the gaming was going on. I am sure people knows that gaming was going, but I don't think a lot of people understands or knows the fine details. Hopefully, by sharing my thought I could influence the widely held idea that "Digg finally screwed up bad this time" to "Digg finally did something right for the first time". Honestly I feel that digg management is incompetent at best. Jay was more interested in selling Digg to the highest bidder as soon as he joined digg and after that didn't work out too well, he was more interested on generating revenue (nothing wrong with that) at the expense of taking care of the site and the community. To answer your question. No I don't think I would do something like Digg. Digg in its current form, and even when it started, is a glorified RSS feed; which doesn't even reflect the choice of the hive-mind or your interest. The real meat is in the community (just look at reddit). If you get the software right, the user will take you from there. Besides who else wants another source of distraction to get news?
