At one time, it did deserve to be one of the most popular sites on the internet. I was a Digg user from early on and jumped ship for Reddit in the summer of 2007 after it started to become more like Reddit is now, if you get my drift. I'm starting to see the same sort of content decay on Reddit that I saw on Digg back then.

That's what I hear. That said, I'm very impressed with the reddit communities ability to mobalize around charitable causes. I find it very encouraging.

That's certainly what sets it apart. I feel differently about Reddit than I do Digg. While the content is beginning to tank, I still like the community overall. I've since relegated myself to smaller niche subreddits (and places like this) to get the type of higher level interaction that I want, which isn't something I could do on Digg, which is why we had to part ways.

Well, I'm glad Hubski is in your rotation, I've been using the Margaret Thatcher description of the Higgs from your post ever since.
edit: I use Obama though.

That's wonderful. William Waldegrave should take all the real credit for that. I took the picture he painted about the Higgs Field and just tried to work in what I thought I knew about the Boson itself.
