More on that in my next post. But we believe the biggest obstacle to Digg’s success may be Rose himself. Digg is clearly trying to anatomy the core product aggregation moving forward to create a more customized Digg that will appeal to a beyond audience. Will it work? We’ll all be waiting impatiently. Old baggage, no matter how talented, is actuality befuddled out for new employees with a different way of thinking about things.
I use Digg quite often and it's the best way to find interesting capacity broadcast around the web. There a tons of links out there for desktop wallpapers, but none of them include information one how many bodies absolutely liked the wallpapers those links acicular too. Actuality able to search for article with a abundant metric of how much affection (diggs) it has is great. For example, finding a desktop wallpaper. However, the search is awesome.
To make affairs worse most Digg users use some anatomy of ad-blocking software / extensions anyway, so advertisements are next to worthless. Staff aren't actuality befuddled abroad to bring some new life into Digg, they're actuality befuddled abroad because Digg are haemorrhaging money really badly, it simply is not invest-worthy.
Let's face it, the real botheration with Digg is the power user problem. I don't abide stuff because 98% of the time it won't get anywhere. The second botheration and reason I quit Digg ages ago is because most of the agreeable submitted is crap, how can you take a site actively that has a million meme's on the homepage when some real news could be there instead?.
I'll be happy for Jeffrey when he lands about good, which is article he deserves and article I'm sure will happen. I've seen some pretty incredulous layoffs and this sounds like the same sort of thing. This strikes me as irresponsible. Hiring bodies who move across the country — bodies who could be tapped for their skills in a abode that will keep them around and acknowledge their presence — alone to let them go after alone a few months is horribly capricious and reflects poorly on those at the top.
