The Digg Categories just suck
Is it just me, or does everybody else often have a hard time finding a category for your Digg submissions?
Their categories are sometimes too specific, and there aren’t enough of them. I find myself debating what category is the closest to what I am about to submit, and it’s very difficult.
Anybody agree with me? The Digg Categories are so hard to choose from and poorly organized. Â
Here’s a list of a few items they should be adding :
- Funny Stories (NOT in the video section)
- Reviews (a whole Reviews Category, and then sub-categorize for websites, stores, service providers such as cell phone or computer chains)
- Web Design and SEO ( right now they have “Design” and “Programming” - that’s kinda obscure)
Yeah. Anything else you can think of?
I think Digg sucks full stop =)
I don’t think Digg sucks - but the mentality of most of it’s users does!
Ya democracy gone the other way…
You forgot to add the John Chow catergory. Or maybe the Jeff Kee category and a sub category of “Helpful web advice for NOOBS”…I would probably read that for sure
Sorry, I didn’t mean to change up names to get a second link, but for SEO reasons, I want to use both names on everything (I have both on Chow’s site), so I will no longer be using Jane.
Sorry bout taking two spots guys.
Thats OK, you deserve two spots.. especially considering you and Kumiko will be doing a joint review of the OhMiBod on video just for me…
LOL…and now the rumors begin…hahahah
Right! How many sites has “the video review” been mentioned on?!
.. rumours??? But Jane, you told me…!!!
Yes, I do think that the Digg categories are really messed up. Most of the stories I have submitted just don’t belong in any of their categories!
I agree, I have never understood why they don’t have more cats.
They should either :
Have more categories
Have less categories but generalize them more.
I don’t even pay attention to the categories when I’m reading. But I’ve had the same problem trying to find a suitable category when submitting. Don’t forget they started of as a tech news site and everything else was sort of just tacked on.
