Since the Digg submission of my story was already buried , I sincerely hope that Digg listens to what their community members have to say.

Twitter has major problems with uptimes, Plurk is missing some major features, and Brightkite is having issues with Verizon.

Nearly four months later, the social features appear to be here to stay. 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.
