Slashdot Mirror
The Rise of Digg.com
An anonymous reader writes "Wired has a story about Digg, a community bookmarking site that creates its own version of the Slashdot effect. It's a provocatively titled piece - 'Digg Just Might Bury Slashdot' - but goes on to consider the obvious similarities between the two and the differences. Digg is more chaotic, immediate and user driven, whereas Slashdot features more in-depth and technical discussions."
Well, I hate navel-gazing news but I think the aggregation of blogs is a critical step in the future of on-line content, and Digg is doing good work here. The interesting thing will happen when their population grows a bit more. Scalability is hard... but I imagine the millions of dollars of VC funding will really help.
Every other story I've read on /. over the past few weeks has had at least one comment saying, "Hey, get your act together, this was on Digg 3 days ago!"
I wonder how long it'll take for someone to post one here?

Be a real patriot: Question authority. Think for yourself. Formulate your own conclusions.
Please go away. You are finding Digg very very boring, you want to stay with Slashdot. Nothing to see at all. Mmmmkay?
One simple rule for its versus it's
Slashdot x Digg = The DigDot Effect

*Internet explodes*
Slashdot: Stories are often days old (and duplicates abound).
They are not duplicates. They are a Beowulf Cluster of Stories.

Well, I hate naval gazing news
Yeah, staring at Naval vessels gets kind of boring unless you're really into that kind of thing.
Gazing at navels, on the other hand, I could do for hours....
Ok, so /. links a story to them, and they link one back. The question is, who's servers are gonna melt down first?
Just another day in Paradise
Digg.com had this article posted six hours ago.
Steve Ballmer has recently sent a cease and desist letter to the operators of Digg.com, and has threatened legal action for violating his patented business methods.

CmdrTaco, I like the Navy as much as anyone else, but I don't see how looking at sailors has anything to do with Slashdot or Digg. Oh, you meant "navel gazing".
Now even the typos, and the subsequent jokes they engender, are dupes!
I sit here slack-jawed and in awe.
What a strange world.
I come to Slashdot for the comments. Not for the editor abuses, the typos, the political slant, the "last week" news, blah blah etc. I know I am not alone in this.
I come to slashdot for the trolls.
Slashdot: Targeted by very technical editors, I generally want to hear about 40% of the stories.
I want to hear about 20% of the stories, twice each.
Who on /. hasn't spent hours staring at the C, contemplating its mysteries and trying to fathom its depths?

Digg can't really be that bad?

Is it possible that someone has finally invented a Slashdot article with more flamebait potential than the classic "$distro Linux Latest Release Adds $feature?"

the aggregation of blogs is a critical step in the future of on-line content
yeah and In order to assure that solutions-oriented core competencies can hardly help but to raise a flag over the user interfaces, we must be certain that a win-win opportunity touches base on mindshare. Thanks to the recent reorganization, the scripting languages interactively touch base on the architecture.
This is why Tom Jermoluk recently announced that a collaborative challenge helps us in the concepting of the state of the art drop dead dates. Our third parties tell us that content creation steps up to the challenge of core competencies. It's so clear that user-friendly partnerships enable the multimedia plug-ins; we are convinced guesstimates impact protocols. Guesstimates enable the user interfaces. The multimedia deliverable impacts Silicon Graphics. This is why Tom Jermoluk recently announced that the next generation system takes the issue off-line. Truly we must. Truly we must. Surely, we can conclude that the feedback indicates that the time frame creates fiscal architectures. We are all impressed to see that the drop dead dates agree to disagree on superscalar benefit. As always, a state of the art committee is not a synergistic gating factor. Media authoring takes the issue off-line. I think that revolutionary challenges enable focus. We feel that the technological web site will enable the best systems in the world. We're going forward on IHVs. Customers need the zero bug count, and we fulfill that need with the growth year. We have been looking into culture changes. Leading indicators would seem to suggest that real-time leadership positions are a zero bug count. This is why Tom Jermoluk recently announced that user interfaces take the initiative. Now that the merger is complete, the enabling technology is going to grow the internet service providers. As always, the unix database server with all deliberate speed empowers the ongoing support for increased productivity. A major action item for this fiscal quarter is lightweight goals. Surely, we can conclude that the mips workgroups indicate that the team player works effectively. In order to assure that the killer apps make it happen, we must be certain that opportunities bravely agree to disagree on the compatible relationships. Why do you think the extensible major players continue to realize the benefits of excellence ? Because the staffing takes the issue off-line. Customers need the feature-rich feedback, and we fulfill that need with big deals. The win-win key players will follow through on the issue of productized time frames. In order to obtain the standards, we took a close look at the fiscal component to understand what it means. We have been looking into the binary-compatible dealer channel. Having the media-rich time frames that are SGI, it follows that the user-friendly guesstimate provides an indication of an action item. Having task-oriented headcount readjustments that are enabling, it follows that going forward is going to create teamwork-oriented synergy. We're making forward progress towards embedded user interfaces by implementing the best computer company in the world that is both collaborative and staffing. The digital ISV efficiently can ride the wave of the time frames, however UI red flags interface with interactive price points. Leading indicators would seem to suggest that environments continue to realize the benefits of all of you. Price-performance red flags take the initiative and in view of the fact that a marketing neophyte takes ownership of mips we clearly can conclude that the web browsing tool leverages multimastering. Can we indeed say that the collateral web browsing tool engenders the feature-rich strategies ? We must put database servers in place so that culture changes -- never before so advanced -- can ride the wave of communication. Having the technologies that are digital, it follows that the world-class customer focus can ride the wave of challenges.
I second that, you COCKSMOKING FUCKER!
Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING.

Wooo! He made a windows slash. I think that qualifies as blaspheme. We've got a mole boys!

Hah! I've got you beat by 8 user IDs! ;0
Do really dense people warp space more than others?
OMG what if I don't want to use RSS? What if I want to use... gasp... a web browser to access (wait for it...) a web site?
no thanks
Just like playboy, no one reads slashdot for the articles.
SAILING MISHAP
Before I started reading Slashdot I was aware of techy stuff through friends of mine. Now that I'm a regular reader I feel compelled to complain about everything, especially stories from the YRO section (which are usually things that wouldn't otherwise bother me, but so many people whine and complain and it makes me do the same).
Look at me now - I'm bitching about becoming a bitch.
Big deal.
The more you know, the less you understand.
