Del.icio.us - Hackdot

I was wondering if anyone was going to point this out. I can remember digg being bigger than everything besides maybe stumbleupon for a short while when it came to bookmarking sites.I never would have imagined reddit being what it is now.

I miss the days when big sites/companies would sometimes go under.

Digg was massive right at the tail end of seeker-net. I myself watched nearly every episode of Diggnation. Great times.

Kevin Rose had some great shows all the way back to tech tv Leo Laporte days.

I wonder what happened to that guy. I would gladly trade a drunk Kevin for a Zuckerberg.

I agree. I like their pre-Digg skits "thebroken" and "hacking with Ramzi": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hNQ280Zkk4

Used to love Diggnation and Digg reel, it felt wild and uncontrolled, yet the production values were good. Really liked the hosts of Digg Reel also, Andrew Bancroft and Annie Gaus (had to look them up).

Revision3 had some other great shows also on their list. Too bad there is nothing like that anymore on the internet, at least to my knowledge.

Oh, easy. That was the internet when it was mostly composed of enthusiasts or people interested in discovering things. That time has gone, and the internet now is mostly a tool for normies to reproduce their "real" life on the internet. Pictures, personas, various frivolities that early users of the internet were trying to get away from.

Digg wasn't a bookmarking site at all. They put that on for a bit because Delicious had raised money.

Delicious was about 10x-15x the size of Digg.

funny thing is that I actually use Digg more now than I did before its implosion.

it's cleaner, nicer, and no comments. Refreshing.
