    The end of Diggnation :'(


    ...
    Their explanation for ending it: They’ve grown up, just like the Web has. “We started this show as kids,” said Mr. Albrecht, now 35. “Both of us came into Web video at a time when ‘Web video’ wasn’t even a word.”
    Diggnation to end in December

    all I can say is
    I watch an awful lot of American TV (Chuck, Castle, Psych, Burn Notice, 30 Rock, The Big Bang Theory etc etc.), but my life seems a lot emptier with the prospect of no more Diggnation after December

    it's been here since 2005
    I thought it was a major part of the 'internet culture', but clearly not

    I have downloaded the diggnation episodes for a long time to my eye phone and eye pad as I think that those guys are great. I used to log onto digg but haven't for a long time as they changed all the screens to not be logical.

    I do have lots of them on my eyepad..

    Yeah, I too been downloading the episodes for ages (their web player is rather pathetic ) and filled up many a gigabyte on my HDD
    I still can't think of a substitute for Diggnation once it's gone :/ When it was certainly here, I subconciously assumed there was something to fall back on, but there isn't
    I agree with you on Digg. Originally, it was basic and intuitive. Then they 'modernised', went backwards, changed it, removed features, restored features, broke half the site... I don't get why a company would try to alienate their earlier members and confuse the newcomers

    What exactly is diggnation? Is it related to the TV shows (Psyche, Burn Notice <-I know these two) mentioned?

    Sorry, but just got a little curious
