Most of the stuff on the front page of Digg is from the same few sources, be that the 100 or so individuals who seem to run the place, and the websites themselves. I think Reddit is a much better example of cutting edge links and bookmarks but alas even that seems to be becoming more and more like Digg, notably in the comments areas which are littered with trolls now, and the powers at Reddit do absolutely nothing about it. Which is a real shame. I'm all for freedom of speech but when all somebody does is troll or bait, they need to go. I’m not sure it really matters.
