Why are they comparing twitter to digg? It's not at all the same thing. I mean, twitter is like drinking from a fire hose, no curation at all just tons of stuff being dumped. Digg was more like sink water, decently cleaned can be enjoyed all the time. Reddit is more like good spring water (you can pick the spring you want too, depending on your mood) and HN is Evian water ;p
Again you don't use fire hose for the same thing you'd use water from the sink. It's complementary.
- m0nastic 16y agoI would argue that both Reddit and Digg are like drinking from the Ganges river; in that the amount of shittiness is related to where along the source you decide to drink from.
- jedberg 16y agoI love this, and am sharing it with the rest of team reddit right now. Thank you.
- dpcan 16y agoYour analogy lost me ;) but I too didn't understand the twitter comparison. I sometimes feel like the TC folks live, eat, sleep, breathe, and shit twitter all day long, and their perspective is much different. Maybe for them it is the source of all that matters? I don't know. I go to twitter when I wonder, what are others saying about X?
