Reddit, Reddit, Reddit..
Digg, Digg, Digg… What have you done. I have given up, on what used to be fun.
My digg widget (on my homepage, see it? No? Look over on the right, under the category list, lower, lower, you got it…) has been rather lacklustre of late. This is simply because, over the past 2 months, I have started to use Reddit for my social news listings:
Reddit is a lot different to digg in many ways. But the main reasons I have found more solace in its environment are:
1. Interesting stories stay on the homepage longer
2. Submitting is policed better
3. A more mature user base
4. MUCH quicker load times
5. The option to ’save’ (bookmark) or/and ‘vote up/down’ (digg) stories
Also, this is just hilarious…
Reddit is less flashy and has a smarter crowd but Digg has a faster pace.
