I was using Digg in fall '07, but found that a community of long-time Digg users had too much influence on "digging" (or hyping) selected articles and burying others, thus determining which were the most popular links at any given time. Basically, a handful of people were running a community of thousands...hmm, sounds like the real world! The folks at Digg said that they changed the algorithm that diggs articles so that the effect of this small group was diluted. This ol' skool Digg group were outraged and threatened to not use Digg. Too much drama. I found a lot of negative feedback on various articles from the Digg community at large. I'm not sure this is just par for the course for all websites that provide a forum for feedback, but I had enough.
Flock has integrated Web 2.0 social features such as Facebook, Flickr, and del.icio.us. So now that I'm testing out Flock as my browser, I'm trying my hand at del.icio.us now.
