an all too common tragedy with growth on the internet; it's hard to manage the charm and experience for early adopters; popularity attracts mediocrity and pollution, a sad reflection of the interweb swarm. syndicated content was a savior from this information overload till the blogsphere copy/pasted other's original content to feed bloated link farms. woe.<p>side rant aside, this graphic does not paint an accurate picture as categories, liking gaming, now have their own section and not counted as technology... among other significant flaws.<p>personally, digg lost its charm for me when it started integrating youtube videos and offbeat. I can find that crap elsewhere and it completely attracted the wrong crowd to the other, more relevant discussions. it's in this regard that I feel digg overextended them self and jeopardized what was rather an intelligent and sophisticated news source/discussion.
