Sneakernets's Journal: Digg is Bizarro Slashdot.

I have a confession to make.

Sadly, I joined Digg just so I could try to "talk" to the hopeless uninformed people of today and see what they really think.

How dumb I was.

Slashdot recently posted this article http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/03/22/2121214 which was laughed at in unison here. AS it SHOULD BE, it's blatant FUD through and through.

However, a look at Digg...

  (note: I am not responsible for death by laughter)

And suddenly I wonder, "Is Digg just normal everyday people that are hooked on 'Web 2.0' ? Or is this some alternate universe where LSD is cool, Windows is the Bees' knees and 9-11 was an inside job?"

Maybe I should count my blessings, and thank God it isn't Youtube. http://xkcd.com/c202.html
