I don't think anything will kill digg, perhaps sites like http://www.thatsprofound.com will pop up every now and again. But I seriously doubt any will pose a serious threat.

Google Reader for your cell phone.

Asterbox.com announces the beta release of their Java mobile platform. They have openly declared what many users have felt: surfing the web on a mobile device is a disappointing experience. Their claims that the internet on the phone is dead, but can live on through web services have been embodied in the Asterbox mobile platform. The Java-based platform utilizes web APIs to deliver content and interactivity to end users in a new and innovative way. The software currently provides access to the Google Reader service, but more functionality is in the works.

Any chance this could be modified to allow tagging and sorting/displaying by top posts for a particular tag? That would make it much more useful.

I somehow doubt that people would migrate from digg. The sheer number of trolls there shows that.

Robert, thanks for the tip on the app - I had it installed, but didn't look any further than the base functionality.

@Herb: That is an awesome idea! I'll look into it.

Dude, now they added the words "As seen on Scobleizer..." to the widget profile. Your dinner with Matt should be really nice. Maybe he should take you to French Laundry.... periodically:).

Backtracking on Technorati from sites linking to yours gives you sites linked to them. Simply by association of interests you find interesting blogs.
I fell over some more work they're doing as well and expect new facilities soon. Rights now they've asked for peace and quiet while coding.

The real power for this is when it comes the enterprise level and gets adopted with the Enterprise 2.0 platforms already existing.

It's really odd that there isn't a proper mashup tool like this. I've been looking for some Digg-like tools (white label diggs) but none of them play well with RSS or even other RSS readers.

These kinds of Auto-recommendation and collaborative filtering tools are what's going to make it big.

It would be really cool if instead of just friends, it picked up 'group' shared info as well. Because the people in groups are more 'likemind' than people I am friends with (sometimes)

No Way! You have over 3,000 friends? I wish I could be as cool as you...

I'll give this a try - DIGG is a lot of work.

I totally disagree that Facebook will ever be a Digg killer. First, there are a lot of people who will never use Facebook because of it's nasty nature of data collection. I know it is hard to believe, but there still are a lot of people that do not feel the need to 1. exploit themselves all over the web and 2. do research into the tools they are using to understand what the purpose behind the app really is.

Many of us are not looking for an 'all in one' community like you're trying to make Facebook into. Digg, Reddit and the other similar sites serve a singular news purpose, that of news aggregation and that's what we like them for.

Thank you for the post, I did find it interesting and I am investigating Google Reader.

Now if I could only get google reader to auto share a feed - say my Tumblr RSS..

I never felt I had much use for Google's shared items. Who would read/subscribe to the naked feed of a lot of links? This solves that. A very cool app indeed.

“we are media”

That would be true if we were actually generating the stories, but in most cases we are just consuming the same media, much of it "old media."

CoReap does something similar, if I understand it right, displaying your & your friends links/bookmarks within Google/Yahoo web search. ref: http://www.coreap.com/

There is another similar Facebook App - Friends Feed Me. You can upload OPML from your RSS reader and get RSS feed recommendations, feeds popular among your friends, etc. Check it out at http://app.friendsfeedme.com/

it's kind of funny to read the comments here, you can tell when it hit the digg front page.

what mario is doing is reminding me of stumbleupon a bit, in that "top shared" sense. the only diff is that with his app, you see where you're going. but the distributed nature is the same, and i like it.
