digg
So when I found digg a couple months ago, I thought it was pretty cool (being an information junkie and blogger, it seemed like second nature), and I added it to my links list and began reading it regularly.

But...I haven't read it for at least a month. Why? I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but bubblegen nailed it:

Reading Digg is like listening to a coked-up Connie Chung talking to the same 1000 Ajax worshippers...every second of every day.

It's not that Digg inherently sucks. ... [but] the content is like the community. Digg's community of pimply teenagers can give me neither relevance nor depth.

Ah...there it is. It's like myspace, except geekier, and without the obsessed-over profile photos. And who can keep up with sorting through four pages of links a day? Shitty content overload.

The internet sucks, again. Oh well - I'm sure I'll find something new to fawn over. I always do.
