403 Go Away!
Kragen throws some useful criticism at Digg/Reddit: “If you fill your head with ‘merely a collection of trivia, all of it narrow, shallow, and sensational’, it won’t stay there; it'll trickle right out again.”
“Giving a private party ownership of a number seems deeply wrong to people versed in mathematics and computer science.”
“It’s a mutiny of sorts.”
“Streisand Effect is a category of Internet phenomena in which an attempt to censor or remove a certain piece of information instead backfires, causing the information in question to receive extensive publicity…”
“Most of the sites that suffer from Digg are blogs that are trying to establish ongoing dialogue with their readers. The authors are more interested at developing ideas and sharing them with people that come across from organic channels.”
Cute. The latest Digg flames all in one place :) Kind of Digg zeitgeist, I suppose.
