But frankly, If I had 300 million, Digg would be about the very last property I would think of buying.

Your article hit several of the high points about why I think Digg is useless, unfair, needlessly discriminatory and a drag on the web in general.

It does excel at one thing … it gives the script kiddes and other basement boys with no life a place to hang out and be rude to people … better, perhaps to shunt them off to a non-influential “holding cell”, else they might spread their snarkiness everywhere.

Digg is openly hostile to new ideas and in particular openly hostile to many bloggers. It is the antithesis of democratic, it is the personal kingdom of Mr. Rose and his minions … if they sell, I wish them the joy of it, and good ridance.

And for those who ever got any traffic from Digg? Bet it was worth nothing. On some of my blogs I use a Socialize bookmark plugin. I’ve edited Digg out of the selections and I’ve thought seriously of blocking Digg referals completely… the people who surf from Digg are not my type of audience.

Not bitter, just very un-enthused with exclusive “boys” clubs and preppy fraternal orders in general.
