kinda weird to have to twitter re twitter, but a lot of FUD on worm, so here is real scoop http://is.gd/s3VE
Twitter locked down the infected accounts, if you had it you should already know it
When your sole metric is the number of times that pages on your site are loaded (and, that those delicious and life-sustaining ads are served along with them), it becomes unbelievably tempting to start doing things that you know are total bullshit.

DiggBar is a Howl of Desperation

http://teddziuba.com/2009/04/diggbar-is-a-howl-of-desperati.html

marco:

Digg has raised 40 million dollars to date. With that kind of money, investors demand explosive growth. Since the economy has gone to shit, there’s a very slim chance that Digg will see a sale before it needs to raise more money. As a small company, Digg could have been a very profitable business, but instead they took too much money and made too many expectations for themselves. I can guarantee you that Jay Adelson (CEO) and Kevin Rose have some demanding goals to meet, and lately, they haven’t been meeting them.

Hence the introduction of this DiggBar business.

Ted Dziuba, as usual, skips the bullshit and brings the internet’s most recent drama back down to earth.
