Digg is dead, what's next? - GoFuckYourself.com

Doesn't seem like that long ago I left Slashdot for Digg, now Digg seems to have imploded.

What's next? Please don't say Facebook, I hate that shit. And Reddit, I just can't get used to the interface. It looks so 1990's.

Where do we go to find cool stuff on the internet that other people found for us?

Reddit, of course

Once you get used to Reddit's interface, you'll start loathing the "web 2.0" look of over-sized buttons, smooth rounded corners, and shiny textures.

Fuck i used digg all the time, man what happened?

Reddit.

Although they're in financial trouble right now as well with funding and whatnot.

The thing about Reddit is that you have to force yourself past the simple userface. It took me a while to get use to as well, but its the community that really makes Reddit great. A lot easier to hit the front page if you're in it for the traffic and not the personal experience too.

You can go there and ask some random question and usually get 50+ answers no matter what it is: http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/ or you can go read about people you may have never otherwise given a second thought about: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/ - In fact there is probably a subreddit with a nice community for just about anything you're interested in: http://www.reddit.com/reddits/

I was a Digg guy for the longest time until I finally realized Reddit was getting the same front page stories three days before they would ever hit Digg. And the general IQ of Reddit seems to be 50 points higher than that of Digg. Haven't looked back since.

Also a surprising number of internet marketers on Reddit, I've picked up two good affiliates who were mainly involved in mainstream dating stuff from there after reading their Iama's. But I'd say overall its heavily saturated with developers if that's your thing.

They're already welcoming former digg users haha: http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/c...ddiquette_and/

If you are an Obama loving transgendered neckbeard atheist... Reddit is the place for you.
