digg
I’ll be short and to the point. Someone submitted one of my flickr photos to digg and it made the front page. Holy Moses! I’m glad I was not serving that from here. It ended up getting 70+ thousand hits on flickr in 3 days. Most of that came on the first day. But that is not the point of this post.
Boy has digg turned into a bunch of whiny self righteous negative nincompoops! I guess digg is old enough now to have turned into just another /. So where is the next digg? I need a new home for tech stuff where the tech still outweighs the stuff.

I find the signal is better on reddit, specifically:
http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/
and
http://www.reddit.com/r/tech/
and
http://www.reddit.com/r/science/
Still some stupid folks in the comments but at least the links are good quality and the discussion is a bit above the /. crowd.

Stopped by reddit. Looks interesting. How often do you see the same story posted 3 or more times on the front page? Is this just the (fundamental) nature of these social networking sites? You would think that there is a way to effectively screen out dupes.
Sigh.
