Why doesn’t Digg recognise the arts?
Jul 7th, 2007 by Hil
Taking a closer at Digg, I noticed that they have no catagories for the visual or performing arts, books, literature, or craft. The catagories under entertainment are: celebrity, movies, music and television. Why are they so impoverished?
Hil, I think they know they’re audience. Might be fun to try an experiment, digg a serious post about a book, maybe mentioning women or sex in a non-exploitative way, and see what happens in the comments.
You are probably right, Amy. I’ll have to take a look at the comments, but I can guess what they will be like from what you say! It’s a bit depressing though, isn’t it?
Very! Don’t look, it’ll definitely bring you down.
