@lv - Funny how a post 2 years old, now rings so true today.

Using Facebook as the messaging platform has taken Digg down. Jay Adelson has been removed as CEO and Kevin Rose has sworn to take the Bury button and the Digg Barr down. Thanks for reminding me of this. Cheers!

Universe Today is a great site about astronomy that i know.
Many people like it so that decision to banned UT is bad action from digg.

But, anyway thank's for unbanned again.

We're need more information.

I am working on a site which try to solve many of the problems with digg.com.
You can find it on http://crowdnews.eu.

The main problem with digg is the voting system.
When only top voted stories get on the front page it has
to be a subject that many can relate to,
which result in stories with a low information content.

Crowdnews solves this by using sharing instead of voting.
Every have a personal news page on which they can subscribe to other users and when those users share stories they will appear on the personal news page.

At least my site, also quite innocent I might add is in quite good company. Who ever is at the abuse desk at Digg is undoubtedly dressed in a smartly pressed brown shirt and constantly patting themselves on the back. All the while constantly admiring the Keven Rose poster above their desk.

As far as Digg sucking, the face of Digg will change immensly when they hook up with Facebook. Anti marketing are you Digg? Then why try to integrate a social networking / marketing site?

Kevin, could it be that your last round of investment capitol has now made Digg worthless to you? Even if you sell it you won't get a penny.

Nice job letting the Digg mafia run your business right into the ground Kevin.
