Sometimes you Digg too far

The new Digg really is as terrible as the critics say. The site is damn near completely useless. I'm not really sure what it was supposed to accomplish. Now it's just a stream of interweaving RSS feeds, and I already have an RSS reader.

Really sad to see a site like this die such a tragic death. I really don't foresee Digg making a comeback. I can't imagine them reverting back to the previous version, and I really cant imagine visiting Digg more than once a week now. Digg now falls into the same category as Facebook and Twitter for me: Sites completely consumed by spam. It's either bots (Twitter), apps (Facebook), checkins (both), or beacons (both), and now Digg has added auto-submitted RSS feeds to the mix of garbage I have to wade through when looking for content. Spam 2.0, if you will.

I did, however, find out that Reddit has its own channel for Rageguy (http://www.reddit.com/r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu/). I absolutely did not spend two hours looking through submissions last night. Absolutely not.
