Is a Digg rebellion in the works?
by Spork at 10:00 am EST, Jan 2, 2008

And while some comments echoed my sentiment--namely, that other social sites are, well, crap--the vast majority of commenters found a number of faults in Digg.

Some dissent over at digg. another reason people should be using memestreams... Hopefully the number of users here will grow.

Its all about Metcalfe's Law. The more people that use Memestreams, the more data the reputation agent has to process, the better and more personalized the results are that get returned when you click "Agent" at the top of the screen. We have been seeing some good growth numbers and that makes us happy (seeing how we do this for free).

We are working on numerous improvements that should make Memestreams more usable. I don't want to give you the full list, so I'll give you what I'm personally committed to delivering by April 1st.

-Faster box with more ram so the search feature doesn't have to hit disk to access the indexes.
-Replacing the categories system with tags
-Export Memestream content

That's a good question. I'm not completely sure. I'd like to think that the old google bomb might help, just placed on a social networking site, like digg or reddit. having all of the loyal users here post and post about how great this site is. without being offensive, annoying, or down right idiotic is the key. but again not sure how to do this. could work with getting the users here to not only post the stories to memestreams, but have them post the same stories or links to the other social sites, but use memestreams as the launch page.
