Digg Needs a Twitter

Digg.com, Has been an internet Leviathan for a couple of three years. It has been mimicked and cloned .but those who  try and use some of that idea, miss the one big selling point of digg.com. You get news out before anyone. (If Kevin read this far, the gears would be cranking in his already and he probably would be off building this). Everyone gets to see your post become the most popular and you get to claim some forgotten pride of producing this piece of information to the world of the less informed.

Twitter does that also. In tiny little squirts. You can become a known source of information and become dependable, at a faster pace than what digg allows you now. Digg has (for good reason) locked out all easily detectable spam methods, by slowing down the process in which you submit and verify your news. Understandable, because it was getting bad.

What twitter has that digg needs, is a phone texting measure, and a way to submit images. You can be on scene and send pictures, videos, audio instantly as news happens. You can get this to the public faster than if you sent it to some news station where “Brad” the smiley plastic head gets the credit for your work and find.. What would be the motive for doing this??

Well Chris Pirillo and his http://www.lockergnome.com/ Allows you (as I do here on my site also) to embed your adsense code into your main page of the site, allowing you to generate  well deserved income from your works. Letting you establish  an income from your credible reports. Believe me if you post junk, people stop taking you serious.

That’s what Digg can do with a Simi Twitter idea.

Let’s say it’s a twitter motivated idea.

The cat’s away, the rodents will play

Well I was trying to log into live.pirillo via the Wyldryde irc chat connection. I ran into a bit of an issue. Some how the site scrambled my password.

I headed to the help command “/nickserv help”. The list showed that by typing “/nickserv SENDPASS” it would send my password to my email account so I can verify that I typed it properly. If it was not the proper password I would just go ahead and use the password I typoed. but no, that did not happen, the instant replay was “SENDPASS command unavailable because encryption is in use”. I of course humored by the irony of the no/help  post into the chatroom a quote of this error nottice, meanwhile the server keeps changing my name to unidentified, but chatzilla kept trying to sign me back. no less than two seconds after I posted the  statement, a low level moderator decides to tell me it isn’t stupid, then kicks me out of the room. I am shocked that he flipped out instead of helping out, I come back and of course “mouse” decides that he hasn’t proven himself a man yet so he goes on to make threats. I have no idea what has him so hot. So I say in some foul words “untill they removes a person like you from moderation, I will not be coming back” and I leave.. What’s he do???  He goes to an unassociated venue that he and I are both signed for, of course he is a moderator there, and he locks my account  Geek  Pirillo.

Chris clearly does not know this going on and my messages are getting intercepted before they get to him.

Here is the chat log.

I also was logged in on another account called “kline_raider”.

I mean I can act a complete fool like anyone and make this really hard on everyone, but I’m not doing this.

I am trying to get it resolved.
