I did reddit for a while, but gave it up. I don't do group think well.

Too much pressure from the downvotes? Yeah, that feature is abused.

I had a digg rss feed on google reader, but after their update the feed has decreased, so I am trying to find another rss feed to use, probably reddit from what people here are suggesting.

No, too many articles were being pushed to the front page when they didn't deserve it, they just happened to jibe with the status quo. HuffPo? Daily Kos? Not news.

Fine place for funny pics though, I suppose.

Fugly, that's the problem with the whole idea of letting this stuff be the "democratic" manner. It just means that we're not going to get other information that may be more relevant or more meaningful in other ways.

I'm already upset that the news doesn't tell me more about the world at large, but tells me what was written on Lindsey Lohan's fingernail with zoomed in photos.

I don't really use it for news, though. I see the news and occasionally leaf through it but don't engage in it and certainly don't RSS (who does that? ADD geeks?). A good chunk of Reddit is not unlike the stereotypical TFP threads about relationships, sex, money, etc. The discussion portion is far more useful. When I want news I don't want a site that features asinine commentary and voting. I just found the particular news niche that fit my taste and decided to stick with it instead of playing Knower of the World and being confused all the time. But I'm a jack of no trades, a master of squat.

I've been meaning to do this (RSS) but I'm just too lazy to try it out regularly, despite asking for advice numerous time on it.

Instead, I've just forced myself to update myself the ol-fashioned way, by hopping from site to site (I currently have more than 48,000 separate url links I WILL eventually get to posting) and somehow still reading, on average, 4-800 link, headlines, articles or blurbs on any given weekday.

I suck so much.

That's not a fair comparison. Use numbers from a neutral third party, like alexa, and it's true that Digg's traffic is significantly larger.

Bah, most of the Digg users seem angry for no good reason. I'm fine with the new site, so I will be curious to see how it all shakes out.
