Firefox made the front page on Digg.com (like it wouldn't, right?)
I’ve talked about how Digg.com simply doesn’t work as a true Internet news service. It’s primarily because only the most popular news (i.e., popular for the gaming crowd) ever sees the light of day on the site. That’s pretty similar to what would happen at myITforum.com, I guess, i.e., the SMS and MOM news would be seen first.
Well…this is a crazy thing that kind of proves my point about Digg.com. Mehrban Sawhney saw this Digg.com article and pointed it out to me.
It talks about a memory leak in Firefox (which has always been there — everyone knows it). But, this article, which made the front page, is marked with:
Warning: The Content in this Article May be Inaccurate
Readers have reported that this story contains information that may not be accurate.
The article definitely made the front page, only because it was about Firefox. But, someone decided it wasn’t accurate — even though it is. So, how is a service like Digg.com supposed to work if accurate articles are marked inaccurate just because someone doesn’t like the topic?
