A great article on why Reddit is better than Digg. I almost completely agree with the article, Digg has become a very bland place. Interesting articles are discovered make the front page get noticed by the unwashed and modded down as spam or ‘lame’. Reddit on the other hand doesn’t put the power of censorship in the hands of the minority and so these small groups cannot get articles removed from the front page.

I have really cut down on the visits I make to Digg because most of the time the articles there are fairly low brow (how many more 50 CSS tricks articles can there be? How many ‘hilarious’ Colbert sketches must we be subjected to?). Nope Reddit is for me at least for now.
