There have been many a blog post on Digg since it’s recent media frenzy on it’s flaws. The problem is the only “flaws” are the users themselves. I subscribe to the RSS feed and if I find something interesting I will read and then logon to comment. However I find that almost every single time my comments get dugg down. Unless you just have a really good one liner like
Sir Bryce (Brainwashed Cricket Commits Suicide) “The more we know about parasites and microbes…..”
I think you misspelled “women”
Then your comment will end up at best getting a max of 27 comments. Basically it is like the old videogame dig dugg of….
1. Digging to find something(the story)
2. Pumping it full of hot air (with your comments and diggs)
3. Till the point of it blowing up (getting on the front page of digg)
What I think is funny about it is that people take the comments so seriously.
***Knock Knock***
It’s called the internet and cyberspace people. I mean we all know most people we talk to on the net looks like this guy

I have also found there are basically 3-4 type of users.
1. Users who think they are smart and have to go into great detail to explain why they are right (i.e. guys who explain mathematical functions)
2. Users who just are there to make fun of other users and make stupid remarks
3. Users who misuse digg….just to be cool and get their name on the fronpage
4. Regular users who think digg is a great site that needs to get back to it’s humble beginnings.
People basically need to make good comments on good stories to make Digg bigger and better than it already is.
