Techradar-In the wake of Google's announcement that it will close the doors to its Reader this July (RIP) there was a hole just waiting to be filled. And who's stepping up to the plate? Digg, apparently.
News aggregator Digg may no longer be the internet force it once was, but it still offers an interesting and engaging selection of curated news articles and videos across a number of categories, from science and technology to viral Internet memes. Now, the company will bring those articles to its users in messaging and communications applications, beginning with Slack, instead of requiring people to visit Digg’s homepage directly.
Digg, havent been on that site for years. Didnt really like the community to be honest. On a good day they were a poor mans reddit.
Maximum PC: Google Reader was a real game changer when it first launched back in 2005. Although it arrived later than many of its rivals, it quickly proved itself to be the RSS feed reader of choice for many. Available on a wide variety of devices, from PCs, smartphones and even game consoles, the highly configurable Google Reader was the RSS service to use for all the latest news and information.
The Future Post: Just like Enron and Worldcom, the Digg brand is a dead horse.
Things can change very fast within a span of time , even the survival for fittest has been proven wrong on web , we have seen how yahoo being a expert arn't doing too well ....same is with digg its graph has fallen dramatically and quickly .
I can't say I feel bad for Digg, they DUGG their own graves with a bunch of missteps.
What was up with their latest update? Thats when I quit using it.
EVERY single other website is leading towards networking and communities, and that was probably the most important thing about Digg. Then they get bought out and completely dump that aspect and decide to just be a filter of news? wth?
I was done when you couldn't submit a story, but instead submit and hope an editor there approved it....
I remember hearing about Digg about 4 years ago, but never went to the website or knew wtf it was.
