Here’s some interesting news about two of the most popular social media sites, that I thought I’d share.
A conversation I recently had with Stephen Searer, of Inside Social News, turned into a great blog post about The Birth of Digg.
BusinessWeek has a great article about the business benefits to the new Digg tools that are in development. They take a look back on how suggestion features on websites have evolved over the years and how they are being utilized for better ad targeting.
On an amusing side note: Digg is looking for a repair man who can fix their Dig Dug tabletop machine. The developers have threatened to stop coding if it doesn’t get fixed!
Details were recently released about the financial details of the Google YouTube acquisition. – via CyberNet News
Viacom, after demanding YouTube remove 100,000 clips, is planning to revamp their Comedy Central site in a move to retain control over their intellectual property, while evolving with new mediums of distribution/media.
