Reddit, Digg Rivalry Heats Up With #DiggRevolt
Aug 31, 2010 Technology
The brand new Digg is under fire on its first ever Monday from both its most loyal users and the competition at Reddit.
Launched last Wednesday, Digg power users have launched a Digg Revolt today, some calling it “Quit Digg Day,” and the Reddit community has embraced the feud.
Reddit links have been dominating the Digg.com Top News feed throughout this morning. At one time, six of the top seven stories were from Reddit.
On top of that, Digg’s traffic has plummeted 33 percent overnight, according to Alexa.com.
Said one Digg power user, @0boy, “Since @Digg and @kevinrose haven’t listened to their core users, I hate to say it but they deserve this mess.”
Reddit is taking advantage of the controversy. It posted a “self-announcement” on its homepage for those “new around here” and even altered its logo to include a shovel (see below), an apparent shot at Digg.
Many of Digg’s power users have been offended by the redesign SocialBlade reported after its launch:
This hardworking detailed Digg community feels as though they have been short-handed with the new launch of Digg v4 since its decision to allow auto-feeds, the demise of power Digger’s and the obliteration of their history on Digg, almost nullifying their existence.
Some Digg power users have taken to Twitter to share their disgust with the new site, and the #diggrevolt hashtag is going strong.
In addition to the above, @0boy also tweeted, “The saddest part: hundreds of avid @digg users saw this coming, clear as day. @mrbabyman @msaleem @thenextweb @ltgenpanda 100+ more.”
Digg CEO Kevin Rose was silent for much of this morning, as Reddit began flooding Digg, but finally tweeted this afternoon, “Digg update: As mentioned on TWiT yesterday, we’re working hard to fix the source diversity part of the digg algorithm, more news soon.”
Angry Digg users flood homepage with Reddit links

Frustrated with the dramatic changes that have hit the social news site, longtime users are expressing their dissatisfaction by attempting to carpet-bomb the front page with links to rival site Reddit.
Reddit Game the New Digg by Pushing 7 Stories on Digg FrontPage
Aug 31, 2010 Technology
Earlier making Digg FrontPage used to be a big deal and specially when this new Digg layout and system is under controversy, Reddit another rivalry social bookmarking site, gamed the system and made 7 of its stories on Digg FrontPage.
Here is image proof of Reddit hitting Digg homepage:
Its going to be interesting to see Kevin reaction with this new buzz which made every loyal digg users stunned.
Meanwhile here are some comments from Digg user on those Reddit stories which are promoted to Digg FP:
Right now, I am digging all reddit submissions as fast as I can.
Kevin Rose killed Digg, now WE WILL BURY IT!
Digg didnt deserve this, but Kevin Rose sure does. He will pay through his website.
The only reason I stayed around since V4 started was so I could bury anything self-submitted and promote anything bashing V4.
Now Im getting so many errors its not even worth sticking around to do that.
Im leaving. How do I delete my account? No, seriously. Is it under settings? I looked but couldnt really find anything.
One thing which every digger is hating the auto submission from RSS feeds. As with this feature digg is no more a user generated community and becoming more like Twitter and Facebook, more followers more popularity.
Whats your take about new Digg?

What movie did you expect to hate, but now watch whenever it’s on?
Aug 31, 2010 Technology
For me, Million Dollar Baby. It seemed predictable. Boxing movie…whatever. Besides, I rarely watch a movie twice. For some reason, Million Dollar Baby entertains me whenever it is on. I had it on Tivo for a while and watched it over and over. submitted by General_Specific to AskReddit [link] [233 comments]
