You can find it on http://crowdnews.eu. The main problem with digg is the voting system. When only top voted stories get on the front page it has to be a subject that many can relate to, which result in stories with a low information content. Crowdnews solves this by using sharing instead of voting. Every have a personal news page on which they can subscribe to other users and when those users share stories they will appear on the personal news page. Join me on CrowdNews Hi

Well, as it turns out, I wasn’t alone. It appears that Digg also banned over fifty more of us at the same time. None of us received any warning. No second chances.

Fortunately I've never abused these tools or scripts, so maybe this is why I am not banned. In any case, I will cease using the Shout Page Digg Button script right away.

The good news is, I guess, that this helped us re-direct our premium (money, boys!) section of our site towards analytics rather than automation. Which is a better competitive advantage for us, if somewhat less, well, exciting than digg p0wning automation. -OT Proud script and automation user (heck, vendor!), got banned 10 seconds (faster than a digg page load!) after front paging a story.

Most of the people I was mutual friends with were known script-users, so I think they just cleared the whole lot of us who had a decent popularity ratio and were all in the same friend network. Sucks, but they're not going to listen. I registered a new account and am trying again. If they pull this crap again, then I'm going to just give up on Digg for good.
