That article is so true and it resonates with me. However, do we not use Facebook and Digg for our own purposes as well? In this non-ideal world, I’ve come to accept all the “good” and “evil” that is out there (sometimes they are debatable subjective terms – it’s about the degree of good/evil). I make do the best I can.

BTW, the title caught my attention as I said to myself while clicking through “What? …”. There is more to learn than the actual things you write in your blog pages – the way your write is to be learned – following your examples (like the provocative title) adds a lot to my learning and benefit.

Mission Statement:

We believe that the news is too important to be treated as a form of entertainment. We envision a future where every perspective is given a voice…where important issues are thoroughly analyzed… where everyone is brought into the discussion.

So is Twitter the new Digg? I do pretty well out of Stumble and will be investing time in Twitter this year.
