Digg, the Love/Hate relationship

I hate Digg. It’s a bunch of Ron Paul loving, alarmist nutjobs, who lean so far over the left that they fell off a cliff (left-lemmings) and need to RTFA first. Yes, I’m about as left as you can get, but they don’t even think before the click ‘digg it’ or make comments.

At the same time, it’s often a place that has news before CNN/NYTimes/Slashdot has it. It’s one of the few sites that actually has more topics that I am entertained by than I can read without wasting entire days. Most web boards are too slow for me, and CNN barely changes it’s content ever. Slashdot might have 10 stories a day. Digg is at least entertaining in that it has a ton of stuff per day, and that is what I see as it’s strong suit.

At the same time, it’s got more ‘junk’ on it than anywhere else.
