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....
