Digg Didn’t Die Only For Us

In 2007 I made a post about Digg, who unjustly (at least in my opinion) banned my account and removed TopTut.com from the dugg pages. The funny fact is, I never made it to the front page, or actually had any impressive (or notable) amount of Diggs to be spotted for violation, or for content worth-seeing.
Already back then I noticed that getting banned from Digg puts me in a rather prestigious group; joining Digital Point, v7n, John Chow, and others. It seems like being banned from Digg is better than being a part of it, and CopyBlogger.com is only one of examples.
Digg.com’s aim is not to bring valued and interesting content to the masses. It’s not even free way to draw traffic to your blog, because:
A. StumbleUpon does a better job here, even Darren Rowse prove it.
B. Getting banned for self promotion (or just like that) from Digg is annoyingly easy.
Conclusion?
Digg is only good if you wanna read day after day (after day, after day, after day) on their front page about Ron Paul, Rudi Guiliani, or the latest, most exciting and juiciest news about the irresistible Digg Button itself or its’ almighty creator… Wow.

I have noticed that anything I submit to digg gets fewer hits, than the same piece will on SU, or even Xomba for that matter. I rarely bother with digg anymore.
