digg is dead

vedic is a spam bot.

Seriously. Go to reddit now.

Don't.

reddit is ugly but developers love ugly .

reddit isn't that ugly. compared to say.. esr.
on another note: please update the esr rss feed, so that it displays the news text.

what is pretty in your opinion?

reddit isn't exactly pretty. but i like the interface and the usability. it's kinda like esr in the way it presents the comments.

i guess i was talking more about usability than the actual design, which is much more important for sites that are heavily based on user generated content.

i've yet to see a more comfortable layout for a forums/news site than ESR

who believes in stats sites, anyway :P

I don't mind the new digg, but i sure as hell don't spend as much time on there as I do reddit & esr.

It's like 2mins vs several hours :)

twittter > rss

why does everyone care about these sites? digg, reddit, went to both of them once and never went there again. what are they for? ;/

People that want to avoid working.

both sites are awesome, instead of grinding blogs and forums for interesting content you get the most interesting stuff in a compact matter

seriously... just went to reddit.com (frontpage) and scrolled a bit and none - really not one - of the post sparked any interest in me. what am i doing wrong? should i specify one of the sub pages like news / gaming?

hmm, reddit is a bit weird tbh, many community news and so on... the comments are usually golden though ;)
i would recommend digg but since digg v4 was released the sites content has been really bad :(

honestly, we might have a different understanding of "the most interesting stuff in a compact matter" then. what's the upside of using this compared to rss feeds, just the comments?

are digg and reddit more leaning towards wasting away work hours? that's fine with me but not really something i need help with :p

i have feedly set up with bbc/times/reuters/sciencedaily/f-secure/2-3 blogs and it seems to me to be the much more "compact" way to get what i want. not hating... just saying :>

Best to filter it to your specific interests yeah, some of the subreddits are complete trash.

You haven't learned about sub reddits i see then.

Personally, I visit these :

/r/nsfw/
/r/gonewild/
/r/legalteens/

You get the picture..

But if you can't browse porn at work, I suggest you try :

/r/programming/
/r/science/

basically /r/anything you find of interest

thanks, but if i want porn i know where to find it.

r/science & programming is interesting but there are other places (and feeds) which present me the 1/4 of reddit posts that are interesting in the first place and none of the nerd clutter that makes up the other 3/4 of the posts there.

thanks anyway :)

WHAT IS GEDDIT
