Digg is dead! Yes Digg is officially dead!

Digg is one of the top social networking leftist propaganda site dominated by operatives from the DNC. It was about as effective as Radio Moscow during the Soviet era. Basically a joke. Nothing to see here, move on.

Update! The front page hasn't been updated in several hours! Digg is now in paralysis and there are mass bannings of the worst critic.

I see this kind of like when a radio station changes formats. You get angry calls for a week, maybe a few nuts that harrass the station for a month - but it dies down and a new audience takes over.

That's not to say that the new audience will be as large, or that Digg will succeed, however.

Digg led me to Ron Paul due to ABC censoring the comments after the first debate. With the new system in place i would have never found that article because there is no "front page" now unless you follow feeds just like a RSS reader

That is true, but it is certain that the new audience won't be enough. Who is going to spend that much time or use a glorified RSS feed as much as they used the old Digg.

Digg has about $100 million dollars in investments to answer for!

Update! Only 4 articles have hit the front page today because hardly anybody is digging.

Digg has been unprofitable for a long time. Once the VC money is gone, it'll be dead for good.

Update: The site is getting super-spammed with goatse links, porn, and reddit articles are being gamed to the front page.

It looks like it is curtains for Digg. There is so much spamming going on that it takes forever to ban people.

Check out Socratic News: www.socraticnews.com

It is similar to Digg technology wise, but is focused on politics and economics.


For full disclosure, I founded the website. I am not making any money off it, just got fed up with the news and decided to try and do something about it. If anyone has any suggestions about how to improve it, I would really appreciate it.

that's very surprising to me, I mean, I thought they only needed VC in the initial stages, and afterwards, it'll self perpetuate with advertising....etc.

out of all sites, digg.

what are the alternatives? reddit, twitter, fark? anything else even come close?
