The only positive to Digg’s new redesign
September 1, 2010
Evidently there is one positive outcome for the new Digg redesign. They didn’t import over the Microsoft imposed site ban list.
Literally to the joy of Linux users, the site sqlspace.com (The one Digg banned back in 2007 for hosting a screen shot of Ubuntu being featured on Windows Marketplace.) is now allowed to be submitted.
It was a censorship case that Digg was standing on the wrong side of, but of course they had to do as their Microsoft sponsor required. That meant for a period of roughly 5 months there were no negative stories about Microsoft, and all stories that were submitted were either buried or literally banned. Such as Sqlspace.com for hosting the below screenshot.
Enjoy the new reality.
