Don Reisinger thinks a digg rebellion may be in the works.  But as he points out, a subset of individuals aren't enough to bring the site down.

With The New York Times picking up the recent story of the (mostly minor) anti-Adblock Plus protest, its worth looking into the subject and seeing just where a Webmaster/ad-block developer arms race could take us.

I see that Cory Doctorow has made another panicked grab at relevancy once again! His most recent InformationWeek article, How To Keep Hostile Jerks From Taking Over Your Online Community, is his latest exercise in self-deception where he tries convincing himself that he knows something about the hip, happenin' thang we call the Innanet.        That Cory has little useful knowledge of keeping hostile jerks from taking over online communities is proven most aptly and amusingly by the way he chose to keep hostile jerks from taking over his weblog BoingBoing: he destroyed its community by shutting off its comments system.

I&#8217;ve heard the warnings at conferences and especially in the Social Media Optimization field that spamming or multiple submissions to Digg and other social news sites could lead to the banning of that URL from future Digg listings. Seems that such a horrible fate was brought about on SearchBliss.com although they say that they were not [...]

RedState is apparently failing because all Scoop developers are liberals so they couldn't get any support for Scoop which crashes all the time so they abandoned Scoop and their website sucks and I think that's funny and rusty should maybe consider fixing Scoop but it's not really his problem because Bush is the devil and we know how saintly rusty is and he wouldn't work for the devil.

Did you notice when Slashdot's  search was down for the past few days? (It's back up now.)  Turns out that in a stunning case of irony, it had been hammered into  submission by thousands of people attempting to use it.        However, unlike CmdrTaco's regimented DDoS attacks, this one is carried out  with malicious intent as opposed to mere sociopathic inconsiderateness.  It also highlights a potential threat from one of the biggest weblogging  services out there.

They&#8217;re an opinion piece from the Marc and Angel Blog which compares Yahoo &#038; Google and appears to be making it to the Digg homepage quite shortly. Google handles all of my daily web searching, email, chat, RSS feeds, blog monetization, etc. In my opinion, it blows Yahoo (and most other Internet companies) clear out of [...]

Hello, I need a favor. I run a website bringpopcorn.com. Would you get my website [...]

The 'true hacker!' blog has a new post today that gives you a quick four step process for creating some clean, Digg-style URLs for your site with some simple Apache configuration changes (mod_rewrite).   You might have noticed that Digg has a cool way of maintaining clean URLs. Digg actually uses LAMP - Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP. But where are the .php extensions? The answer is here. 4 steps to implement your own Digg style clean URLs.   His method turns on Apache's rewrite engine (you do have mod_rewrite enabled, don't you?) and adds a rule to push all of the requests to two default PHP files. There's also a ForceType method that can be used to achieve the same effect. One .htaccess file later, you're in business and the PHP script only needs to access the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] value to get the parameters.

Google YouTube Rumor : GoogTube? Michael Arrington posts on a rumor about a potential Google acquisition of YouTube. Somebody&#8217;s going to buy the site &#8212; and probably soon. The question is who? Or is it whom? Here&#8217;s Mark Cuban&#8217;s rant (Reuters via CNET) that any buyer of YouTube would be a &#8220;moron&#8221; because of liability/legal issues and [...]
