I don’t. Never did. I don’t find it useful. Am I missing something? I have my feeds, and Techmeme and BumpZee. Do I, or did I ever need Digg?

The answer is no. Do you use it? Be honest. Do you go there every day and surf around? You don’t.

By the way, they now have ads. Even more reason not to visit.

I’ll leave you with my best Loren Feldman imitation.

“Who f-ing cares? Now they have ads, it sucks even more. And they chose Microsoft? What in the f were they thinking? Dumb.”

  • I'm with you on this - I never use Digg. I have too much information coming my way as it is. So the question is, who are the people that actually use Digg?
  • I use it - sort of. I haven't dugg anything in probably a year, but I get the top 3 headlines on my iGoogle page just in case something not related to Digg makes the homepage. But, your point it correct - at least the one I think you're getting at - the service is more or less useless and (adding my own grudge) run by fourth graders.
  • I don't use it either.
  • I've never liked Digg. The front page stories rarely interest me.
  • Anyone want to jump in as someone who actually uses it?
  • I don't use them either... but apparently Microsoft likes them:

  • I've never visited Digg to find sites. I've never Dugg a site. As far as I am aware, none of my posts have ever been Dugg.

    I did visit to get the button, but it seem to load so slowly, and I'm not sure my blog match any Digg categories. Maybe I'd use it if I had a budget to pay teenager to give my posts Diggs?
  • I use it a little bit, but honestly I hate it. Occasionally I find something of value on there, but in general it's not worth much of my time.
