From a personal perspective I had indeed abandoned Digg in favour of other networks that were more favourable to newer users (StumbleUpon). It was simply too dfficult to get any sort of exposure in Digg. Interestingly, I stopped voting for other articles on Digg as soon as I made this move. Instead I chose to vote in the networks I’m active within. Thus, these algorithmyic changes may tempt me to play with Digg a little further.

I can understand the discontent of Digg’s power users however. They have helped to build Digg in to the powerhouse it is today. Yet they are being penalised to a certain degree for their participation.

Still, I say that anyhting that creates greater equity for the broader social media community (rather than a select few) is a good thing.
