I am working on a site which try to solve many of the problems with digg.com.
You can find it on http://crowdnews.eu.

The main problem with digg is the voting system.
When only top voted stories get on the front page it has
to be a subject that many can relate to,
which result in stories with a low information content.

http://crowdnews.eu solves this by using sharing instead of voting.
Every have a personal news page on which they can subscribe to other users and when those users share stories they will appear on the personal news page.

“Open up the site, open up transparency, let people see what’s going on…” How true that is, and I can guarantee you that you won’t see it until Jay and Kevin are gone. I should know, as they did a masterful job of suppressing my role as co-founder.

At the end of the day there is only one reason why people are attacking Mr.Babyman and that is jealousy. There are some that never have hit the front page and he does it with great ease. So people are looking to blame scripts etc, when the reality is that this guy has earned a huge following.

Sorry. It said 404 not found when I clicked on it last night. I’ll revise the article, Brian.
