Digg a response
My response to digg:
I, for one, am not to concerned over the removal of the top diggers list. Fortunately I got a lot out of it while it was up. A lot of great friends (most of the people on this list), exposure (I’ve been hired by a few other sites, details upcoming), and just a lot of pure fun and excitement. I’ve been a little undersatisfied with digg for a while see my blog post about it. digg remains an interesting diversion for me, but is no longer a true passion. As some of you may have noticed, my participation has drastically dropped over the past few weeks, before this was even on the plate. I wish each of you well, but in my opinion dgg has become way too segmented, needs a moderation system, and as generally outlasted its founding goals. In short, it doesn’t work any more (at least for me). For those that are interested in programming and development, I’ve, for the most part, relocated to dzone.com (Yes, one of the sites where I got hired). Feel free to contact me at any of my contact locations. I’ll still participate on digg in a limited fashion, but don’t expect the dedication and zeal of me from the past.

[...] Me, being a little tired and weary of digg’s altered course over the last 6 months or so, jokingly stated that I should write an simple RSS filter that would automatically bury stories submitted by non-friends and digg stories by friends. The concept is really simple, just grab the upcoming feed and digg/bury accordingly. I don’t advocate such an action, but surely it was possible. Let’s go check the TOS, and saved here in case there are further revisions. [...]
