I noticed this about Digg within days of joining the community, I think I may have done a half a dozen posts that always got buried within 24-48 hours by someone else even though it was almost identical. Too bad, so sad, they really had a good concept there.

The exposure of Digg’s problems cannot come soon enough IMHO. The site is full of anti-American stories Dugg to the front page and ripe with online bullying and profanity galore.

Since it is frequently used by DBM to confirm the popularity of a story, Digg needs a nuclear-sized clean-up to give it any type of validity in the future.

I have an idea...there might be a market for a right-wing version of Digg...

I've been following this for about a couple of weeks now. I registered at digg back around October because of someone at FR wanted some articles freeped. (We were hopelessly outgunned over there.)

But I hung around because I wanted to post links to my webcomic. I've posted a couple dozen links over the past month. Never a comment. One managed 3 diggs.

I get very little traffic from them, compared to, say, Stumbleupon, which sends bunches of people my way. (Granted, a link for just a single day on the front page of "Irregular Webcomic" sent me more traffic in that single day than I had in the rest of 2008 combined! So much for social sites!)
