Last year I wrote about Digg here, here and here. I concluded that Digg had become unwanted as it was mainly tirannised by just a handful of people that would submit anything for money. I have never used it ever sice but predicted it's death.

Today Digg faces something completely different. The site managed to offense it's community by responding to a demand to remove a link to the hexadecimal decryption key that allows Linux users to decode and play HD-DVDs.

I don't what else they can do to offend us, but I do believe they have the strenght and the willpower to do just that. People, Digg is dead. RIP.

It has way too many loyal users to die that easily. Don't count it dead yet.

Response from: Alan Liew (05/03/07 10:53am)

Digg is alive again. They have decided to allow HD-DVD.

Well, they initially bent over. That's enough for me.
