WARNING: Mild profanity appears once at the other end of this link. (Word for excrement used to indicate that something is objectionably nonsensical) News about Zaibatsu, who was Digg's top user at the time of his banning. Message of the story: anybody who submits a link to Digg is at the mercy of the owner of the site at the other end of the link, because Digg will not listen to any explanations, no matter how reasonable, and no matter how innocent the action taken on the part of the user. Something for any SU user who likes GigaOm's suggestion of a Digg acquisition of Stumbleupon (linked to, below) to think about, because that very activity is at the core of what almost all SU users do.

Chris Crum (the author) writes about a rumored upcoming Digg toolbar incorporating random search, and asks if this is bad news for Stumbleupon, as that is the service's key feature. Perhaps, but Crum hasn't given us reason enough to think so. Randomness, by itself, isn't a big deal. Webrings had incorporated it into their code long before there was a Stumbleupon. Carefully weightened randomness is what Stumbleupon does. Stumbleupon offers a blogging platform, albeit a seriously flawed one. Digg does not. Those who submit content to Digg risk loss of membership if the content proves to be unpopular enough; so far as I know, Stumbleupon users don't have the same worry, outside of a little political whackiness in the fora. I'm left with the impression that Crum repeats somebody who has read too much into too little, having little familiarity with the capabilities of the SU system, and with the policy differences between the two sites.
