But how is Digg going to make improvements unless it turns iitself into a business? Then again, it may pursue improvements to make itself more attractive as a takeover target..:)

I agree, Mathew. One of the things that has long bothered me about digg (though let's face it, it's still just about the best social news platform out there pound-for-pound) is the management's insistence about how "organic" the community is and what the community wants (via digging, burying, and so on) the community gets, and so on. From what I've seen this is simply not the case, what with the weighting of "diggs," weighting of digg users, etc. Some of this is necessary to run a successful social news community, but the attitude of the people who run the community -- how they interact with their community, the message and attitude they convey, etc. -- are very important.

Mathew,
the only big, big, big, problem with digg is its useless banning engine.
I hope they'll solve this problem soon. It seems that sending emails to them is completely useless. Here's my last post on this:
