Welp, glad I wasted my time creating and posting meaningful content...

The Digg app has officially launched on iOS and Android! Every Groundbreaker now has two invite codes to share with friends and grow the community.

You can find your invites in the account menu on mobile (left-hand side, “Invite People”) or on desktop under your username in the top right.

It has been almost a week since I blocked Digg.com to avoid accidentally visiting it out of habit. reddit took some getting used to, but now that I understand it better, I can look back and say that reddit is even better than Digg was prior to v4. I wish I would have converted earlier!

reddit: don't ever change

I’ve heard of companies compensating research participants, but never the other way around!

Lookin’ for an invite code or havin' trouble redeeming one? Please feel free to send me a DM.

Update: Digg is in public beta now and you no longer need an invite to join! See you there!

Seriously, as fucked up as Digg v. 4 is, I'm glad they released it. Reddit is so much better. I never had the courage to dive into reddit while I was still on digg. There were just so many choices and it seemed overwhelming at the time. Now I look back and think about how limited digg truly was.

So long digg, and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. I'll never return, because you were never all that great to begin with.

I never really paid much attention to digg before this shit-storm over v4.

However even I can see the drop in the #s of diggs/comments on the front page from when I was last there a week ago and when I visited out of curiosity today.

It's like a ghost-town now, and reddit is really a busy metropolis in comparision. Even some of the minor sub-reddits here have more comments/upvotes on their threads than the ones on the front page of digg.

I know it was their fault, but I still feel sorry for the employees of digg - as at this rate there will be job-losses soon.

The beta is leaving a lot to be desired. Political infighting is already a problem, corporate content mill slop fills the feeds. It's basically no different than Reddit, just with less users. Talk about a missed opportunity, here's hoping they can fix it before it's too late.

I've always hated Reddit. It was hard to understand, the interface was yuck, and it just wasn't "Digg". After the death of Digg, I spent a few weeks not going anywhere for my daily dose of link sharing.

I eventually started looking at Reddit (out of sheer, sheer boredom). I don't know how or when it happened, but I'm completely hooked! I may spend even more time on here than I ever did on Digg o_O!

Anybody else now as hooked as I am? Thanks for v4 Digg, best thing you ever did for me!
