Due to Digg’s ease of use, people have been fighting back by posting story after story involving this number.  Taking up an entire page as a matter of fact.  Many of these stories have received well over 1000-2000 diggs which is pretty high for any story on digg.  Never  before have I seen so many people banding together  to fight back.

I’m sure there’s a lot to be said here.  About ease of use.  About your community.  About not turning your back on your user base.  About selling out (After all, who was a sponsor of diggnation?).

To be honest the HD-DVD key and everything I said above is really insignificant.  I find it stunning that a number of people will cause so much trouble in regards to a number, yet I see little being done about our political system.  Why?  I mean I hear a lot of people TALK about it, but nothing is done.  We’ve pretty much turned into lazy activists who will only do something if we can make a change with a click of a button.  Perhaps I’m just a hypocrite by not doing much myself, but it really makes you think.  Today our president vetoed a bill that would end the war in Iraq and we’re concerned about a fucking number.  Maybe if we could click something to impeach our president, more people would care.  Of course nothing will ever be that easy.
