    • Slashdot Firehose (or Digg vs Slashdot.org round 2)

      Posted by Jeff

      I got invited to Slashdot Firehose tonight as well. The UI is clunky and confusing and is very Digg-like, complete with thumbs up and thumbs down. I agree with Stew...Alexa data indicates Slashdot still in decline. Personally, I find myself drawn back to /. content because of the quality editorial and turned off by Digg. That's my 2 cents.

    • No Acquisition For Digg - Raise Series B Round Instead

      Posted by Jeff from Tech Crunch

      Interestingly, the post claims Digg is not yet profitable despite earlier reports that it was. I expect to see some further changes in their model. This makes me doubt NewsVine's claim that it will be profitable early in 2007. By the way, Digg has 18 people - how many people do you think it takes to build NewsCloud?

    • New York Times adds sharing tool

      Posted by Jeff from Seattle Post-Intelligencer

      The New York Times now allows readers to share with Digg and Newsvine ... and FaceBook(?). Interesting move. Seems experimental to me. Definitely a coupe for Newsvine because they seem to gain the most from the deal. The New York Times is also adding a permalink feature (wow?). Anyway, this won't apply to premium firewall content.

    • Digg Black Market

      Posted by Jeff from Readwriteweb

      From Waxy: A site that sells Diggs on the social network site. Pretty funny. That's the price of success - in more ways than one.

    • Experiment: 60 Days of Digg

      Posted by Jeff

      Sturgeon's Revelation firmly applies to what's available online: 90% of it is crap. Clearly, it takes an informed and skilled team of editors to filter out the crap and present the rest in a coherent fashion. That's what Slashdot does. Digg's multitudes can't hope to accomplish that. After all, 90% of them are crap, too.

    I Bought Votes on Digg

    From TechCrunch Digg Should Sue Wired:

    Digg can't treat Wired like any other user that's engaged in fraud. Wired is the press, and the press has tremendous power. Wired is putting Digg in an impossible situation, and they should be called on it. Reporting news is one thing (although they should note the conflict of interest there as well), but actively creating negative news about a competitor and then using the massive reach of Wired to promote that 'news' is way over the line.

    I didn’t know Newsvine was connected to Disney. Did I read that right?
