Twitter, Facebook and Digg, we're looking at you.

Digg didn't move from GoDaddy, so it's unlikely they will join in.

It would make a far bigger point if you linked to recall petition efforts on all the SOPA bill sponsors and co-sponsors.

Anyone have any good alternatives to Digg? I would leave if they support SOPA

As if GoDaddy's service wasn't a good enough reason to make the move... -,-

What, for real? I don't follow the nuts and bolts of DiGG but that did shock me a bit; that they use GoDaddy. heh

DiGG should join in as DiGG could be neutered by this... something about a dvd key seems to ring a bell.

SOPA sponsor, Rep. Lamar Smith, slammed the protests as a "publicity stunt." http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2398985,00.asp

How is he our "Representative"?

Reddit and Reddituniversity are both shutting down tomorrow in protest. I like to call that active.

Would have been a better protest to have cut off service, but this is still something.

Ahhh, the fond memories... Lost my account over that one back in the day - worth it :)

Of course with SOPA/PIPA the entire site would have been shut down and no more DIGG.

It'll be interesting to see what happens tomorrow - which companies jump on the bandwagon and which don't. Thanks for sharing this.

Craigslist is against SOPA as well and has some good information on how to contact Congress.

My reply was regarding Digg. Learn to follow the thread, please.

I'm closing my Digg account in protest.

If Digg wont support this important movement, I wont support Digg.
