There's a shock...people are spamming a system that is so easily manipulable that it is rendered useless until the problem is fixed, which it almost certainly never will be.

This is why I don't bother using most social bookmarking sites for anything of real use. They're getting destroyed and there's next to no effort being made to fix them.

I've started using delicious to keep a bunch of URLs organized. It does wonders for that. I don't care how many other accounts have something bookmarked, or what's popular, anything like that. Just a list of regional hiking trail reviews I've found, please.

But then I can't see how they're making any profit from people who use their online database and ignore the rest of their site. On the other hand, they seem to be a lower-value target. People have set up StumbleExchange sites, buy and sell Diggs, and basically laugh at the ideas behind these sites.

Honestly, I don't see any real value to Digg. I can already send people private messages ( it's called email ), and don't run spammer of the week awards.

After reading more about this, it's more interesting than it sounds. There's been a power struggle between the people who came up with and pay to host Digg, and the people who use it. Far from a revolution, but it could mean the end of Digg ( in the Kazaa sense ).

Honestly, I wouldn't mind the end of digg.
