Marketing Pilgrim: Digg StumblesUpon a New Way to Engage Community

    I don't really think it is StumbleUpon they are copying. What they describe is really just a recommendation engine, which has been around since web 1.0 days. If anything it's Amazon they are copying. Amazon probably has the biggest, most popular recommendation engine around.

    Actually, I'm pretty sure it's reddit that Digg is imitating. Reddit, a social news site almost exactly like digg has had http://reddit.com/recommended for quite some time.

    To me this sounds even more like Findory, my favorite news service that didn't make it big.

    The almighty digg should keep it's so called famous site and leave the great community of SU alone. Quit playing copy cat and stick to your guns. you let certain ones rule the roost now let them keep the roost alive. The all time Big Diggers think they are special, well looks like they are causing digg to look at other avenues. Create your own and quit playing follow the leader. I can just hear the people at digg if the shoe was on the other foot.

    I think Digg is eyeing the monetization of selling the targeted content like StumbleUpon.
