Hello. I specialize in graphic design and development for web applications.
Dear Digg users,
Please stop voting up comments which took less than thirty seconds to write. Looking at stories on the homepage, comments which say things like “something awful ftmfw” and “too true.” have more votes than comments which say intelligent things, such as:
The “Official Nintendo Seal of Quality” has become the “Official Nintendo Seal” since 2003 (right after the Gamecube and before the Nintendo DS and Wii era).
Notice the difference between those? The obvious is that one of them actually had to be put in a blockquote. If you actually read the bad comments and the good one, too, you’d notice that the good comment actually conveyed information, or some form of thinking at the least. The other ones just stated the author’s agreement or disagreement with the article. Heck, even most Twitter users can convey more rational thought in 140 characters than you Digg users can given unlimited space.
So, in conclusion, stop being stupid.
Thanks,
The intelligent social media websites
Say your words!
