USA TODAY relaunched with social news features. Will it usher in a new era of traditional media and become a serious threat to services like NewsVine or even Digg? Although I think it’s a bold move and a step in the right direction, I sense that the impact of USA TODAY incorporating social features into [...]

This is something that I hadn’t noticed before but it seems the fact that Digg users don’t take kindly to any kind of controversy (since it sparks a tug of war between positive and negative votes). Many alternative media sites are chiming in on the recent Wired feature on Digg, even going so far as [...]
All the big media sites just went on a Digg bonanza starting with the three articles from Wired: Herding the Mob, I Bought Votes on Digg, and Hunting Down Digg’s Bury Brigade(which is really David’s article on NewAssignment). With additional mention from BoingBoing and of course Michael Arrington calling on Digg to sue Wired because [...]

The blogs are currently buzzing with the news that Digg has reinstated a list of domains previously banned or have they? There is still no official word on Digg’s company blog and I’m with Steve in thinking it’s some kind of a glitch. Not only are all Digg pages very slow to load, various queries [...]
If you remember a couple weeks back I initiated a witch hunt on Sicc and Knuttz.net. I’m not even going to link to that as I’m sorry about the whole affair. Well, there’s been a lot of speculation on what Knuttz.net did or did not do to get so much traffic from Digg in such [...]
I was reading this article about internet censorship in Russia by government trolls thinking, “Gee that sounds like a social media site I know”. When is censorship on social media acceptable? Is tampering with voting results ever acceptable? Recently, one of my readers submitted an article of mine to Digg. As a result, the story [...]
