Can You Digg It? No... Not Really |
Posted by Terry Howard @ 8/16/2006 
And god help the poor soul who posts an article loosely related to anything previously posted on Digg at any point in recorded history. Immediately thousands of nerds will rush into action, stopping what they are doing at any given moment (which is most likely jerking to anime porn, sorry, pr0n) so they can be the first to call you filthy names that would get them pummeled by even Ghandi had they been said in person. And then, somehow, within 3 comments length the discussion will immediately turn into how Bush eats children and Al Gore didn't get a fair shake and then it eventually degrades into a general argument over which obscure Japanese robot cartoon would kick which's ass.
But somewhere amongst the crap surfaces an article of great interest to me that I really enjoy reading. That has kept me wading through the sewage that is Digg for some time now. And I've dreamed of having a "filtered Digg" something that was the good articles minus the garboo. And then it dawned on me, I already have it, right there in the feed reader just under the Digg feed. It's called Slashdot.
