A few days ago, I unsubscribed from Digg. It was mostly just the del.icio.us/popular stuff in Digg format.

I opted to stay with del.icio.us for one reason. In my feed reader, when I click on the item title for del.icio.us, I go STRAIGHT to the page that is being linked to. With Digg, I click on the link, end up at Digg\'s site, then I have to click the title THERE to get to the point of the link.<br><br>I get why it\'s like that (ad money, hello!), but fact is, it\'s one step I don\'t need to take with del.icio.us.</div>\

You act very consistently with this.<br><br>As a result, I really don\'t take any "fact" or "news" you relay seriously at all. you\'re far too loose with the facts to be trusted even a little. About all your reporting is good for is a starting point.

Who has time for that BS?<br><br>I have a list I have created over the years, based on quality of writing and accuracy and depth of content. There\'s little a memetracker can do to beat critical selection of sources.<br><br>As well, they\'re nothing more than popularity contests. They aren\'t ranked based on quality of content, but on how many people like them. I left High School years ago, don\'t need a virtual version.<br><br>So I don\'t use them because they don\'t provide a useful service, and their rankings are BS.</div>\

What would be a lot more valuable to me would be if such places aggregated *what* people were saying about the topics, not just *who* was talking about them; if there was a simple line at the end of each topic, for example, saying something like, "Here are the people who think this news is good; here are the people who think the news is bad," or the like. This would get me to use memetrackers a lot more, to tell you the truth, if there was a simple way to see what people\'s opinion of the meme was as well, and not just the raw numbers of people talking about a given subject.</div>\

I read 150 RSS feeds and every time I look at Memeorandum, it\'s full of things I saw two days ago.<br><br>2. I\'m not at all interested in news as a popularity contest. If that "4 things" meme had a centralized place to link to, it would have been at the top of Memeorandum - and it\'s not news, it\'s fluff.<br><br>3. They lack focus. Digg will promote anything about celebrities or Flash, and I\'m not interested in 90% of what gets promoted. Tech.memeorandum claims to be focused, but let\'s face it: "tech" isn\'t a focus. Just about anything posted on a weblog can be "tech". And if I chose my own focus, "tech" wouldn\'t be it.<br><br>4. On top of everything else: I\'m not in the habit of looking for new things to read. I\'ve got work to do, and I\'m already reading 150 news sources.<br><br>To me, sites like this are (a) a way to quickly "get up to speed" for those who aren\'t already plugged in and reading lots of weblogs, and (b) a way for RSS-crazed infomaniacs like me to find new things to read. The trouble is, I already have a great way to find new things (personal recommendations from those 150 people) that works far, far better.<br><br>Part of your problem is probably the terminology - "memetracker" means nothing to me. I\'ll bet there are more people on earth right now who have heard of <a href="http://Digg.com" rel="nofollow">Digg.com</a> than know what the word "meme" means.</div>\
