Fuck 'em both, especially Digg. Digg used to be cool. Now it's a fucking club. If you want more than 3 Diggs on something, you need to be in a giant networking group with other people who Digg all of each other stories. So basically, if you're a regular person nothing you write will ever get featured on Digg.
Mark Cuban wrote a story about what a joke Digg is and how he got banned because he started using a script to auto-Digg stories his friends stories for him because he had better things to do with his time. But that means that there are people who don't have better things to do with their time. So Digg these days has a userbase not unlike the Wikipedia bureaucracy: a bunch of unwashed techie losers who spend every waking moment online.
