Digg is the social media network of tech geeks, and the Digg statistics should not be too surprising: 39% of Diggers publish their own blog.

First, I’m going to say kudos to Apple for trying involve themselves in the world of social media. Let’s envision this scenario: a user has a support issue about an Apple product. Social media is exactly that: “social.&# I’m going to stop there, though. No acknowledgment.

However, it’s been a long-standing issue that Digg has not acknowledged its users to satisfaction. This is not a regular practice on the social news giant, and unfortunately, that is probably the biggest thing causing its downfall. That hasn’t been much of a reality on Digg. Digg is not the government.

As Digg becomes more of a social network and less of a social news network (or a hybrid that incorporates both elements), it has a lot of obstacles it needs to face. Besides major usability issues , duplicate stories submissions , and ads that literally scream at you , Digg has yet another issue to deal with: privacy.

If you use Twitter regularly, you’d see that it wins as a social news site that provides instantaneous news — at least of that caliber. As Chris Garrett explains in his post, if you follow numerous feed bots, you can get the news all the time. The issue, of course, is engagement. Definitely not.
