Way back in the day, before there was Facebook and before there was LiveJournal, if you wanted your own personal space on the web to share your interests you had only a handful of options. You could join a forum for discussion, you could pay through the nose for a domain name and hosting, or you could use a free web hosting service. Most folks went with the free option and used websites like Geocities, Fotunecity, Tripod, Angelfire or Xoom to make their own presence on the web. To the excitement (and embarrassment) of
Digg Version 4: Change You Can’t Believe
by Jason Lightner September 1st, 2010 | Cyber Culture
On August 25, popular social news website Digg unveiled a host of changes to the site's design and features. More Facebook-like in appearance, the new layout is much cleaner and doesn't contain the hints of A.D.D. the previous layout did. Digg has also curtailed the influence of so-called "power users" whose posts always seemed to make it to the front page.
These seem to be the only real positive changes, however, as many users are upset at the removal of many key features such as bury, friend submissions, favorites, upcoming and profile search. Many users of Digg protested and,
