Has Digg Dug its Grave? »

Prop it 70 11 drops Drop it

Several weeks, maybe even a month ago, Digg removed the ability to shout a post to your Digg friends. I vaguely remember that they also said they would give us a replacement for it, but I've yet to see a new solution.

Digg's policy to do away with "shouts" was the best thing that ever happened to Propeller.

  I wholeheartedly agree with that, btatman!!! I am really, really glad to see the "Diggers" here.
  
  I, too, think it is the best thing that has happened to Propeller in a long time!

    On the contrary I'd say its the worst thing since it was absorbed by aol.
    The refugees from Digg are an unsightly bunch indeed with their sock-puppets in tow.

  Being hateful, dishonest, lacking integrity and common sense doesn't exactly come to mind as being the best of anything, let alone transferring it all to Propellor...

  btatman22 nailed it. It's nearly impossible to communicate with people on Digg (easily).

  That has gone on at different times here at Propeller, too.
  
  I would like to say, "Welcome aboard, please stay!", and that is from the bottom of my heart!

I wonder if Digg will become the new Mixx. Mixx banned me NOT for shouting, but, for doing what I do here. On the bright side, though, when it banned me, it didn't remove my words, just changed me to the no-name of "ex-Mixxer".

    I think my avatar pretty much sums up how i feel. Try not to puke too much, KjeffV. It wears away the enamel on your teeth. Under Obama's social health care, you will have a choice of either havening your teeth yanked, or you can have some fake gold grill-work installed.

I only got into Digg around last Christmas, and really got into it. I quickly got several of my articles to the FP and tons of hits and greatly improved the search ranking of my website.

Then, they implemented a limit on how many diggs you could do in any given period. Then they did away with the shouting system.

Initially I scoffed at those who said it had something to do with eliminating conservatives from Digg, who had figured out how to get their articles up to FP and were a growing presence. Then I was getting banned for the slightest infraction, and ultimately I was perma-banned for "hate speech" which was utter BS.

Now I believe the conspiracy theorists. At least as far as the Digg Conspiracy goes.

Oh. I get it. A site can only be considered "good" as long as it works out to your advantage. Digg became too difficult for you and now your're all pouty. My guess is that they're kicking their heals up at Digg.

I'm not that familiar with Digg but I think switching to it would be like taking a bath after having to wade through the swill seeping into Prop now
