Digg is dead. You heard it here first. In addition to not being able to hook a buyer, Digg has become so bloated with unnecessary features that innovation hasn’t been seen in a long time. Many sites, Propeller, for example, are showing more innovation and drive than Digg. Digg’s product managers have severely generalized the product in a desperate attempt to appeal to the majority, leaving loyal Digg users in the dust. Factor in the lengthy time that it takes Digg release product updates - this week’s news on a custom Digg taking 6 months to complete being a prime example - and it looks like we should start the mourning period.
