I am probably going to look at CoRank for a while, Chances are I will forget about it eventually. I love digg, and probably will for a lot longer.
And sorry, but all you really said was: "Digg users are mean, i like coRank, It makes me gooey." #2 - By liquidboy, 28 months, 4 days, 15 hours ago.
don't appologize that IS all i said. I could of said more about Digg, and i probably will in time, but for now i just wanted to write a quick and dirty blog entry before i head to work. As for saying more about coRank, ill definetely say more about that too. I did get more than just gooey feelings from using coRank :)

Sorry about double post, but i just remembered something. One good thing about digg, that is COMPLETELY lost in coRank is the sense of accomplishment and community in getting onto the front page. When you hit front page you know that literally millions of people are now seeing the story you submitted, thousands are commenting on it and all of them can see who submitted the story.

Well of course, but that wasn't the case on Digg's day 1, was it? :-)
coRank is just a newborn. Don't expect it to have a PhD before it learns how to walk :-) The fact that one somehow needs to build a list of sources is a challenge for coRank but at the same time, I think it promotes that community aspect you flag as lacking. As for the users, yeah, at least for now coRank isn't about making your submission popular to millions but to get it to people who are more likely to be interested in it. But as I said, we're still learning how to walk. #4 - By pato, 28 months, 4 days, 15 hours ago.
Yeah, I became a Digg user early last year and I'm definitely going to take a look into coRank for the next few days. I'm more confident that I'll be switching, however, because I tend to agree with liquidboy. Digg has become overwhelmingly biased and its hard for the minority to be heard.

I remember late last year when nearly everything Kevin Rose did made front page .. and every enhancement to digg made front page (digg job page) ... and even site issues with digg made front page (digg yellow sticky not big enough to handle the apple phone diggs '10000+ diggs') ..
Yeah digg is really biased to articles with apple/mac,kevin/opensource etc etc.. Im hoping coRank proves to be more civilized than that... #7 - By shinynew, 28 months, 4 days, 9 hours ago.
Well with coRank its not just coRank its YOUR coRank (unless im very mistaken) YOU control who you listen to. In digg you listen to everyone, and collectively they had a lot of bias, which I am fine with.

Ironically I linked over here from a story on Digg about coRank. Some of the drunken frat boy troll-posting gets tiresome but since I hang out mostly in the Tech areas it isn't as bad as the politics etc.
Re the Mac/Linux bias--they just opened the Microsoft topic zone a week and a half ago and it is VERY active with remarkably little anti-MS trolling. Given all the trolls we see in the Linux zone I think that says something. Anyways....I would not focus on a different portal if that was not the subject of this submission. I like the look and feel of this experiment and plan to visit often. I'm still not entirely clear how this works but I've only been here for 10 minutes..See ya later :) | |
