Be Honest, Do You Actually Use Digg?
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... Read More »

Don’t Blame The Rest Of Us For Digg A-Holes
Pouge at the NYtimes goes off in an almost Andy Rooney tirade about ‘Whatever Happened to Online Etiquette?‘.

That’s not the issue here (although my teenage correspondent above was, in fact, wrong about every single one of his points). I’ve even accepted personal... Read More »
