The Digg Blog

It still astounds me that people give digg the traffic numbers they do, but people apparently do. It’s like they’re being sucked in to a cult like the Heaven’s Gate or Branch-Davidian morons. The difference is that Digg has an international profile and following. If Kevin Rose ever decided he wanted Digg to be a cult, all he’d have to do is demand people inject antifreeze into their own bloodstreams, and the earth’s population would go down about 20%.

If frequenting digg’s website every 4-5 minutes isn’t enough digg for you, you’re also welcome to read the “Digg Blog“. Yep that’s right…the morons who run and build digg will let you into their intimate lives, and talk to you like you’re people to them. In reality, it’s more like a “Jedi Mind” trick, wherein you read the blog and they keep you interested in Digg. Think about Obi-Wan Kenobi waving his hand in front of your face and repeating “You will continue to read digg.” It’s almost that obvious. I mean why the hell else would we care about what a bunch of San Franciscan developers think about anything?

The Digg Blog is a great place to get a fill of the news as it applies to digg. Ironically, the Digg Blog is more news and information than digg. Go fuckin’ figure. In fact, it’s a great source of information for a guy like me, who hates digg. Check out what I learned today while parusing the Digg Blog this morning:

Title: A Diggable Digg River
What it’s about: How the mobile phone version of digg has been streamlined. Ok…if you’re a digg junkie to the point where you need to get your fix on a cell phone, I would like to kick your ass because you are an asshole.

Title: Help Spread The Word, And Get Your Name On The Digg Homepage!
What it’s about: Hey folks, you can be bribed by the potential of seeing your own name on digg’s homepage. All you have to do is indoctrinate other people with digg’s garbage and invite them. Notice the use of language “Spread the Word”… as if Digg were some noble grassroots cause which needs the word-of-mouth support that fledgling do-gooder groups need to grow.

Title: Digg/Facebook App Now Live!
What it’s about: Hey kids…We know you don’t read the news much, but that’s ok…Digg isn’t about news! Now you can integrate your Digg and Facebook profiles with each other so  you can potentially make Digg more money!

I think three is enough. What a bunch of losers these guys are for writing that garbage. What a pack of idiots the digg community is for reading them. (Of course I am the exception, I’m doing research…)
