Digg HD-DVD Story Blowing Up in the Blogosphere

May 2, 2007 | 2 Comments

Wow - not only is every frontpage story on digg about the HD-DVD encryption code again (with the code featured inside of every single post right now), but the story has taken over Techmeme as well.
Matthew Ingram is asking the right question, I think:

Digg in Trouble over HD-DVD

May 1, 2007 |

Looks like Digg is facing an outright user rebellion righ now…
After taking down an article about the HD-DVD encryption key (with the key published in the headline, I think) and banning users who dugg the article and commented on it, things are getting pretty ugly right now.
If you wonder how just how upset the digges […]

I am not sure he is right in calling all diggers a “bunch of 12-year-old kids” so that it is best to ignore them (isn’t Jason trying to get enough money to send just those 12-year-old kids to private school?). The discussions on digg […]

Digg’s Going for $150 Million

October 25, 2006 |

But no takers so far… I am with Thomas Hawk, though - somebody is going to buy it an Yahoo would be the perfect fit.
I always thought the problem with digg was monetizing the service. Digg remains a niche product, with a niche audience, even if it has tried to break out of the tech […]

Scoble Asks If Diggnation Is Really a Success

September 29, 2006 |

Scoble:
Here’s a question I have. If you have a new technology product or service to launch, would you rather launch it on Diggnation or on the front of the business page of, say, USA Today?
