I just wanted to leave a note that for some reason, this (and only this) post appears over and over as a “new item” in the feed. This is quite annoying, as I am at currently 200 times the “Kevin Rose” Interview — and seriously considering unsubscribing from the feed …

Best regards

That has limits though in terms of keeping the site focused on the types of resources people will continue to find useful. For a site like MySpace the social networking aspect of the site is seeing what friends may be up to via their profile. Content sharing, however, is about finding useful pieces of information. That useful part is the kicker because 1,000 different people may find 1,000 different things useful.

In that light controlling the quality of the submissions is somewhat important because people will only use the site if they feel there is value in the content being shared. The “Digg” process definitely aids in separating the chaff from the wheat. That said, the more chaff that exists the less likely users are to find an abundance of useful resources and the less likely wheat is to appropriate be separated from the chaff.

So I think Kevin’s got a great thing going over at Digg. I just hope the focus remains the product that exists. There is definitely room to add functionality that supports users in the use of existing technology. I think really focusing on the kinds of workflow and process streamlining enhancements for a more focused set of content would yield vastly better usage than just continually expanding the types of content that can be shared.
