I found Digg first. Then I found Reddit. I didn’t like reddit at first because it didn’t look as good as digg, so I went back to Digg for couple of years. But now I have moved to Reddit.
But why? Content on Digg wasn’t the best that I would expect. Lots of duplicated links and power users ruining the system, etc, etc. Digg tries also to make money more aggressively. There is only couple of ads on Reddit and half of them are there just to thank that I have adblock disabled
I can’t even use Digg without adblocker. It is so bloated with many ads.
I also feel that Reddit has better content for me, partly because I can customize my Reddit feed with “subreddits”. Anybody can create their own subreddit for anything/anybody.
Reddit also has better app for iPod/iPhone “Blue alien” app works without any problems, but the Digg application is unstable and slow.
The new Digg beta is heading to interesting direction. Concept is really good, but so far it haven’t been so great for me. I don’t have friends/followers on Digg so my feed is little quiet…
For me, Reddit feels more open way to share stuff on internet. It feels more like a forum than a link sharing site…
And reddit is open source <3
