Yes, that is true, and most things that I post to this list are more in the
form of an inquiry, because there is simply so much information that I don't
have.  I would like to see the FOSS community be able to use all Free
Software tools to compete with Digg, but right now, they are a huge
destination for lots of people who might find out about Free Software for
the first time.

No, but I do have respect for the vast amount of traffic that comes to their
site, _and_ I think that lots of people hear about Free Software for the
very first time by cruising Digg, merely because it has become such a
destination for general users.  If we are going to increase the Free
Software installbase on the consumer desktop past 51%, we are going to need
to use lots of commercially available tools, including Digg.
