While typing this comment mashable/engadget hit another 5 front pages...and has anyone seen that nifty thing where you can super-upvote comments if you click really fast???
Digg became a success because of Digg community, people who have spent their nights and days Digging. Now when Digg is making profits, you don't care about the the community anymore.
Why having a friend’s submits section is important.
1) Removal of a friend’s submits section from Digg increases Power user’s power.
2) Allows you to track your friends submits over time.
3) Allows you to search your friends submits.
4) Allows non power users to see their friends’ submits.
Power users already have a network outside of Digg, be it a Blog, Facebook, Twitter or other means to up vote their friends submits.
You are not prohibiting Power User’s Activities.
You are as dumb as DRM!
You are punishing Average Users, preventing Average Users from enjoying your site.
Why the Bury option is important.
1) Allows good to get to the top, and filters out the bad.
2) Empowers the Digg users for good, and yes evil. <cough DPs>
3) Gives Digg users the ability to control the News.
What makes Digg different than RSS feeds is that Digg was controlled by the Diggers.
The Report button introduced a 3rd party with power over what users read.
This effectively destroys the sense of the community Digg once had, by removing the Digg users’ ability to control the News.
How to deal with Digg Patriots w/o removing the bury button!?!
- Analysis of how Digg Patriots work.
- Digg Patriots have built a social network to control what type of news hits the front page.
- Strategy: As a group they target stories to bury.
Counter strategy: Do Diggers like the DPs?
- The only people who like what the Digg Patriots do are the DPs.
- Put a tab for the “Most Buried News” in 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days.
- Let the Digg and Bury War Begin!!!
Dugg, but meh, what the hell does it matter any more?
Digg has done everything it can to stop our diggs putting stories where people can see them - you could have as much effect on the content by ringing your own damn doorbell as clicking on "digg"
Duplicate comments, the link doesn't open in new window, I cant see my submissions (ok, dont show my friends submisison) but please can I see my submissions ? Digg API is down as well. I didnt expect that from the digg team.
Why the Comments Section is important.
1) It allows the users of Digg to communicate with each other.
2) It is the Social part of Social Media.
3) Comments are the conversation on Digg. Why is it so horribly mangled?
What is the problem with the current Comments system?
- Difficult to find/reply to replies. <Go to a post with 2000+ replies; try to find the replies to your post, May the Force Be with You.>
- No email notification of replies to your comments.
- No options for how Comments are shown <Viewing Hidden Comments, below viewing threshold?>
In a nut shell, it is nearly impossible to keep a conversation on Digg at the moment because the comment system is so horribly managed. There are several new aspects that I do not like, but I would rather you fix these first.
Because the Current Comment System is so horrible, it is killing two way conversations.
------------------------------
What Triggers, “Slow down there partner, you almost broke an axle.”
1) Up Arrow <Yes, I no longer Digg on Digg, I Up Arrow.>
2) Up Arrow Comment
3) Down Arrow Comment
4) Comment
5) Reply to Comment
6) Change Fallow/Fallowing setting
Everything, every thing you do on Digg, triggers that message. Are they on different timers? No, of course not this is Digg V4.
Why is this bad? You are interrupting Digg users from:
- Up Arrow News they like
- Up Arrow comments they like
- Down Arrow comments they do not like
- Commenting
- Replying to other’s Comments
- Adding people that they like to Fallowing
- Removing people they do not like to Fallow
You are prohibiting all activity on your site, at the same time. Everything is on the same timer. Blind Up Voting is treated the same as posting commenting, replying, or anything else on the list above.
I understand why you want a timer, to curtail the activity of Power Users.
However, you are punishing ALL users for Any Activity on your site.
How many, broken axles do you expect users to wait?
