Thanks for dropping by the new blog! :) The concept of user-driven content has been around for many years, but it was only with the rise in popularity of blogging that it took on a life of it's own - and projects like Digg were destined to be popular right from the start. I'm just not sure Kevin knew (or knows for that matter) where to draw the line between empowering the people, and allowing a total coup to take place! Forget your punctuation - your spelling of 'wierd' is weird. ;) Hey Steve! Thanks for dropping by the new blog! :)

That said, I love the concept, people power working to help me find interesting / useful stuff. If Web2.0 means anything it means user empowerment - this little episode actually reinforces the user empowerment, which is a good thing. (MAN my punctuation in this comment is wierd!)

Of course, other blogs have mentioned that Kevin probably would have advocated the publication of the key - if it had just been his decision. Thanks for your comment Andy! :)

Digg must have been a bit worried though about members revolting. But i suppose the customer is allways right, in this case digg users. Yes, i reported on this aswell.

But i suppose the customer is allways right, in this case digg users.

I think he maybe got a little flustered, and panicked! Unfortunately, it resulted in him and his people behaving too strong-handed, and it could potentially cost him everything he's worked hard for... I guess only time will tell! Definitely!

Digg not only removed diggs with the code inside them, but every user posting the code. And every user criticizing the removal. It's a completely different thing. Even if ONE article is censored, there's no need to ban the complete user account. The problem is that Kevin mixes things up.
