I always read engadget, slashdot, digg, amongst many sites. And i’m a huge digg fan, ive always loved their content from the getgo, and they got a funny podcast …but i cant help but to feel rather pissed that they’d pull off material that goes against their practices when they claim that moderation is up to the end-user. people say digg is too raw...well, thats what you get with no central moderation. and i love it when users control the headlines, but all good things have loopholes...someone just discovered it at the right time. In any case, if these findings turn out to be highly credible, then Kevin should come through and make a statement to clear it up if he wants to retain digg’s good reputation…because it can take you years to build up a reputation, but a few oddly-common “diggers” to bring it down in a second. And he did respond, but if users control the digg-o-sphere, then the same users will probably have the last judgement. I love digg, and i have faith that there will be change. now THATS a neat discovery. I always read engadget, slashdot, digg, amongst many sites.
