I'll be perfectly honest: what is popular on Digg is in no way something to be proud of.

Digg is a complete waste of time. The community is one of the most immature you can find online, the content is very poor, and I am disgusted when I see the little 'lynch mobs' that they form up every once in awhile when they feel like vigilante justice is appropriate.

Digg is junk, and I have absolutely no respect for it. Scribd might want to worry if they are becoming popular on Digg...do they really want that audience to be using their site?

In a startup, you can't afford to be choosy about which users you want. If you have a lot of users, you run with it.
