Digg Dies: Sad State of Affairs

BREAKING NEWS: San Francisco, CA.

It is with a sad heart that I report the death of Digg.com. It has jummped the shark today, and will forever be in a downward spiral toward the abyss.

Tonight, the story of Anna Nicole Smith’s departure took over the site overwhelmingly, and the story about Turkana Boy — a REAL news story — was blown out of the water.

For the amount of good that Digg.com provided for its users, there was also an element of evil at work behind the scenes. From Kevin and Alex’s recent pre-taping of old news on Diggnation, to the infamous Top Digg Users list controversy, it seems Digg.com will not be the next YouTube to be consumed by giant meadia conglomerates for large sums of money.

I will forever remember you, Digg.

Digg.com… dead at the age of three… Rest in peace.
