The new digg is horrible!!!

Aug 25, 2010 11:16AM PDT

This whole concept of "following" people has to stop!! I don't want to follow people on digg, I want to follow the categories and stories. I don't really care who is submitting them. I like finding out stuff my friends DON'T know or haven't seen. Why does everyone want to be Twitter? That is the beauty of having different services....that they are DIFFERENT AND DO DIFFERENT THINGS!!! If they all turn into the same thing, what's the point? I think Kevin Rose blew it. I had been using digg since 2005. I don't really have any need to use it anymore. It's worthless now. Maybe Reddit or something? Anyone with some good alternate suggestions? Thanks!

Reddit is so much better than digg in every possible way. I highly recommend reddit.
