Over the past week and a half I have really tried to get into Digg.com and I am having a hard time. Most of the stories that make it to the front page are stories that I am not really interested in.

Maybe it is because the site is run by the users who are mostly made up of the Slashdot crowd. I don't find I have much in common with them. I don't find it interesting that (insert latest Linux distro here) was released today. Or Apple has a new product out that all the Apple fanboys are going to swoon over for around 10 days until Apple releases another product.

I'm too attention deficit to be much of a gamer. I can play about 3 races of Forza and then I get bored and have to do something else. So a lot of the posts on video games don't interest me.

Let me take 5 headlines from today:

See a CPU explode! - What is interesting about this? Not a lot too me. Thanks for wasting my time Digg.

Apple's New Cheap Laptop - Great but is it going to be as good as the cheap Linux laptop from MIT? Debate amongst yourselves for hours Digg users!

Apple's Mac OS X and Safari web browser gain market share - This one is a huge waste of everyone's time. When Apple has 50% of the market share in both departments then it is news.

If you're not using Firefox, start now - Great thanks for the 100 articles on Firefox and how great it is per day. If I am already using Firefox what is your point? I think everyone that goes to Digg is alreeady using Firefox.

Apple G4 and G5 processors optimized Firefox 1.5 builds. - At least the Digg user here was smart enough to combine both Apple and Firefox into one article so he actually saved me time by not having 2 seperate articles on how haxorz L33T Firefox and Apple are.

I think there are some stories that are cool but a lot of stories just plain suck. There must be some kind of Firefox extension that causes people to vote on Apple, Linux, Firefox each time a story on one of them is posted to Digg.
