Why I Don’t Digg or Reddit You Anymore

May. 23, 2009

Fast forward nine months and I no longer organize my online life around the social bookmarking sites of Digg and Reddit.
I continue to use Delicious to bookmark web pages as an alternative to storing items in my computer browser folders. I have over 1,000 items that are appropriately tagged for easy reference, such as the [...]
