Headlines

Will Digg Get Dug Up From 6 Feet Under?

  • Digg: The Digg iFrame Toolbar is Dead / Unbanning Domains
  • Digg “Unbanning” All Previously Banned Web Sites
  • Kevin Rose: "Framing content with an iFrame is bad for the Internet... It's an inconsistent/wonky user experience, and I'm happy to say we are killing it when we launch the new Digg."
  • Andy Beal, Marketing Pilgrim: "It's not too far-fetched to suggest that about the time Digg started banning popular marketing blogs, it started fading as a popular destination and talking-point for marketers."
  • According to Compete.com: Digg traffic had gotten as high as 43m monthly visitors, but has fallen recently to 37 million visitors.  Digg has certainly lost all of its growth momentum, as well as cache and brand.
  • Marketing Takeaway : Keep an eye on this, and if you have a medium popularity blog, it might be time to add back your Digg buttons.
