| Page 1 of 15 | Previous | Next | SOSHABLE DECEMBER 20, 2011 4 Things We Expect to See from Digg in 2012 As the year comes to a close, Digg is far from dead and is poised for a rebound in 2012. Here’s what we expect (hope) to see from the social news giant: Nothing else will have any meaning if Digg doesn’t turn a profit by the middle of the year. If there’s one reason Digg brought in Matt Williams as CEO, it was his understanding of profitability and advertising development. Digg is heading in the right direction with 2 additions from 2011. Larger sites like Mashable don’t even have Digg buttons on their stories anymore. | SOSHABLE MARCH 19, 2011 Three Things Digg Needs to Survive: Buzz, Buzz, and Buzz No, Digg is not dead. As I posted on FastCompany last month, Digg has until May to get the help (which we’ve offered on multiple occasions free of charge) they need to get back on track or they will miss their last window of opportunity to keep from going the way of Propeller, MySpace, and Yahoo Buzz. That helped to prompt the recent round of Digg-hate from the blogosphere. | | | | | | | SOSHABLE AUGUST 10, 2012 Digg Traffic Falls out of Top 200 on Alexa, Heading Out of Top 400 Most believed that when Betaworks bought Digg last month and announced plans to revamp the site completely, that they were getting a recognized domain and a good amount of traffic to go with it. Despite Digg’s fall over the last 3 years, it has always hovered on Alexa’s traffic rank between 120 and 190 worldwide. Digg Featured Social News Betaworks | SOSHABLE JULY 13, 2012 Selling Like This May Be The Best Thing (almost) Ever for Digg The only that would have been better for Digg would have been had it sold at its peak rather than it’s downfall, but there is a distinct potential for a silver lining to the news that Digg was sold for parts bit by bit over the past couple of months, culminating in the sub-million purchase of the domain and remaining assets by Betaworks. There are rare things in this world. | SOSHABLE SEPTEMBER 20, 2011 Digg Newsroom Beta May Just Be Enough To Regain Relevance Over the last year since the launch of version 4, Digg has faced challenges in regaining its relevance in social media. It has seemed at times as if Digg may go the way of MySpace, Propeller, and Yahoo Buzz – social sites that were once big news but failed to adapt to a changing social sphere. Today, they launched Digg Newsrooms in limited beta. Traffic is down. | SOSHABLE FEBRUARY 19, 2011 At Digg, There is Hope (and rightfully so) There seems to be a paradigm shift going on over at Digg that hearkens to the cries of users and publishers alike longing for the glory of old. It would appear that for the first time in over a year, Digg senior management is not only listening to the users, they’re acting upon what they’re hearing. Digg has gotten much better at communicating their changes on the blog. | | | | | | | | | -
NOWSOURCING | FRIDAY, JULY 13, 2012 RIP Digg: Enter the New Social Media Frontier If you were a top Digg user, you had clout (not klout, that’s for newbies, stick with me here) in the newly emerging Web 2.0 Digg, the once frontrunner of the pack, started mindlessly catering to the publishers only. And now Digg’s been sold. Digg has been sold to BetaWorks for 500k (ok maybe more like 16million if you count the IP rights with LinkedIn and Washington Post ). Don’t forget one of the biggest potential moments for Digg with a whopping $200 million Google acquisition that was rumored to be on the table. Early Times. world. MORE >> -

SOSHABLE | THURSDAY, JULY 28, 2011 Digg “Newswire” is Hot (Update: Buries to be Public?) One of the biggest complaints of Digg has always been in sorting. Newswire, a new Digg feature still in limited beta, appears to be addressing the issue nicely. It’s almost exactly like the Upcoming section except it adds two strong new features: minimum and maximum Digg counts and activity updates without refreshing. This can be very useful for those wanting to use Digg for it’s original purpose – content discovery using the wisdom of the crowd. The Newswire is here to let you slice, dice and explore the freshest content on Digg. MORE >> -
SOSHABLE | SUNDAY, AUGUST 2, 2009 7 Reasons Why I Won’t Tweet Diggbar Links Ever Again… Regardless of what anyone at Digg says, this was just wrong. Below is my version of the definition as it fits with what Digg has done: In social media, a bait and switch is a form of fraud in which the website putting forth the fraud lures in users by promoting their service as a portal to great content, then reveals to the user that the functionality has been changed but that substitute content is available. We were pulled in because it was easy to use, helped to promote strong content, and displayed the source to everyone who clicked on it, Digg user or not. Blast. MORE >> -
SOSHABLE | TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 2010 Digg Changes Coming Shortly? Things are looking up for Digg. Digg announced its new CEO. Kevin Rose announced upcoming changes to Digg. Reddit has not broken double-digit front page stories on Digg today (yet). While all of this may be humorous and somewhat sad, the first quote by the new Digg CEO is possibly telling as it’s the first time anyone at Digg acknowledged “content curation as a need at Digg. “The launch of version 4 was a big moment for Digg and I believe in the potential of this new platform.
