Blogger Sues Digg
January 31, 2006
I’ve had it.
No really.
I’ve become addicted to Digg and I can’t stop.
Digg, if you’ve been living in a cave the past year, is a tech-centered news aggregator that has become popular amongst bloggers and web sorts. The only problem is, I’m addicted to it.
Oh sure. It starts out simple enough… a little article about some cool css sites, then a free fonts site or two… The next thing you know I’m three days behind my deadline for a requirements doc, and I’m neck deep in some bizarre ball drawing thing, with another window running some Javascript based adventure game – that I don’t even WANT to play!
So, as far as my understanding of the law goes, I need real damages. Well, how about I haven’t done crap in over two weeks, my cats have lost (collectively) fifteen pounds, my eyes are going bad, and today is the last day of an invoice period where I’ve made NO MONEY.
Diggs fault.
So I am going to call a lawyer, and initiate a damages claim against Digg for wasting my time learning about some guy that created an animation out of the Bigfoot images, or another website where you can create a flipbook-style animation, or this other one I read where you can…
If you’ve experienced a loss of your life because of Digg, share your comments…
You need a hooby… try knitting.
Right…. Ever heard of self control?
I’ve lost a lot of time in a day, going from one story to the next. I can see how you could lose your job over this
Utterly ridiculous! You chose to visit digg, now deal with the consiquences. We are all able to break away from a website. I mean just pretend that there is a fire in your house… what are you going to do…well adrenaline will kick in like it always does and give you the fight or flee choices. I gurantee you will get off digg.
Dude! block the domain on your computer problem solved!
Funny stuff
