With the ever increasing amount of websites and blog’s launched each day, thousands of people join the race to become popular and make a name for themselves online, potentially generating funds on their ad-filled websites. With websites such as Digg, Slashdot and Reddit proving user submitted news, everyone has a chance to show the world their content, however what makes these sites brilliant is that we don’t see the useless junk, we only see what people like across the web.
Most site owners dream of having there site on the front page of one of these major websites, and instead of focusing on producing high quality content they just throw shabby work around and try there hardest to get people to like it. To me, if the content is good enough, people will vote for it regardless, and recently when browsing the web I stumbled upon a site called youdigg.me.
The idea of this site goes entirely against what I believe in, it works in a way similar to the old ad-sense scams. You create an account and digg each article that pops up, in return you receive credit that can be used towards a campaign for one of your own articles.
I personally want to put a stop to this website, I use Digg to find funny,useful and informative news from around the web – I don’t want digg to end up full of dead end websites full of ad’s.
What do you think? Leave a comment below!
I agree. Personally I go to digg to find interesting news stories that I wont usually find on cnn or the bbc. Though I doubt youdiggme will have enough impact to affect digg that much.
I like the new layout, very nice!
Cheers Andrew!
I’m going for the more personal/professional look now
