What the Digg Crowd Loves and Hates

Google tells us all about the likes and dislikes of Diggers – just search for e.g. [“i hate *” site:digg.com]. Strong language and spelling errors ahead:

Love

Hate

digg iTunes bananas deepfried, greasy meals firfox adblock OneNote XGL grageband the PowerGlove copetition Ubuntu Trey’s comments irony southpark crowdsurfing octopuses diggnation macs LEGO ipod mini cases coke Lego robot kits Nixie tubes (they remind you of something you see on Dr. Who or some old sci-fi show) bigmacs Slackware DokuWiki fake screenshots (they make you think, and sometimes they turn out to be, well, not so fake after all) uTorrent to scare people digging Digg streamripper leftists techies PAPAJOHNS PIZZA !!

digging the desk for staples when you run out the assumption that if something is downloaded and watched instead of purchased that it’s a lost sale eThugs thoes annoying commercials handguns (handguns are used to shoot people and as long as they are around, people will shoot each other) suckdot (because the asshole staff that declines to post your submission, but some jackass a day later posts what you did and it gets accepted) FF’s password manager. wallwarts those sceintolgoy guys slashdot’s system. It is confusing. fanboys slashdot’s comments (unless I change it to flat), because there’s no good way to read modded down comments DRM clicking through a ton of menus and categories. duggmirror scammers! ILOVEYOU viruses Dupes Digg’s search frogs legs digg’s new layout. flamewars between PCs and Macs. (WHO CARES!? They’re two separate computers. One’s better for some things/people, other for other things/people) Bush widgets dup nazis frameworks WMP slanted headlines blatant self-promotors on digg misleading titles buzzwords Websense idiots bandwagon whores

Of course, you can do the same probing for any other website with comments...
