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.

This is no less true for the world of social networks. Networks like Digg, FriendFeed, and Facebook are seeing huge growths in value, but the little guys, the ones actually providing the meat and potatoes for those operations, rarely see a nickel. I think the big issue here is more about sites with snippets of text.

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. Hopefully Digg will start addressing the aforementioned issue in addition to the other usability issues that plague the system.

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. It’s their community of choice and that’s fine.

Simply put, the new mass media helped organize, and influence, large numbers of consumers. To take two examples: people complain about an issue to an important newspaper prompting them to push the issue into the mainstream, or if a TV station covers an event, that becomes an important topic.
