Digg: web history, broken up for parts

Alexia, writing for TechCrunch: Digg was an extremely influential site for anyone who worked in the early era of online publishing, so it being scrapped for parts is sort of weird, especially for those of us who used to beg friends to vote up

Quora: Over-hyped and flooding my in-box

Time for a confession: I’m a Quora sceptic. There’s nothing specific about the service itself that’s causing this – I’ve barely used it so far – but the way both it and people around it are behaving suggests to me that we
