I have to agree Digg seems to be pretty biased and a few of the top guys control most of the information that seems to make the front pages. They do not like competition, but then many do not. Quite honestly competition can be good for everyone. Sometimes just allowing your competitor to find new ways to not do something is a good way for you to fix a problem before it happens to you. They also may come up with a marketing method that only further helps your business. You see this everyday with such businesses as Home Depot, Menards and Lowes for example. They open their stores within only a mile or two of each other and they state that their business for most of these stores actually goes up because they draw in more people.
Many at Digg are young kids who have their eyes closed and are not simply willing to see if something is better. They only know what they know and belonging to something like Digg is sort of like a club addiction for them. The problem is that getting accepted there now is hard to do and sometimes near impossible. It was for these reasons that you see sites starting to pop-up and become moderately to highly successful. People are simply looking for a better way to share their news stories and become social in a more friendly environment.
