I have to say, I'm surprised at Kevin Rose. I thought he was cooler than this.

That may sound naive, because 'business is business', but that's bullshit. With new media have come a new paradigm of user as equal (getting there anyway), a digital culture moving beyond this kind of corporate manipulation disguised as convenience.

Digg should scrap the bar all together and apologize. It's a mistake not to, because this kind of business practice is not going to encourage loyalty or drive growth. They will have long-term issues.

Well this is just a results of the new DiggBar. Propeller, Mixx and Reddit are all OK. Although they all have their own unique culture. Digg is the only one using frames atm.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
