@augustus -- I encourage you to "dig" a little deeper. socialmedian = social news meets the social graph. Very different from Digg, although our roots are from their foundation. What we're trying to do here is personalized news at the topical level -- more about "me" informed by "we" vs. just a popularity contest. Poke around and would love your feedback.
- lacker 18y agoYou are currently forcing people to create an account to see anything besides the Digg-like front page. I recommend you let people explore around before forcing them to sign in. If you really do have something that's different than Digg, you have to let potential users see it.
- socialmedian 18y agoYes, we agree. We are working to get rid of all the registration requirements. It was just a holdover from our alpha.
- dmix 18y agoIf anyone outside of the tech world came to your site they would have no idea what it is. Social news network is meaningless to a surprising amount of people, which will probably make it very hard to market. Also, the constant user registration pop-ups kills your sites usability, and I consider myself an early adopter.
- socialmedian 18y agoAgree on all fronts. Right now it is an early adopter product with crappy registration requirements. And that's the founder writing this.
