Makes no mention of how the quality of Digg's content fell head-first down a staircase. All the rock star developers in the world can't fix bad editorial decisions.

Given that Digg's content was (at least in theory) community driven, there seems to be some sort of chicken/egg issue here.

The article is poor summary of the interview, which I saw replayed TWiTs live stream. While the quotes are accurate, the interview wasn't really about Digg

I think the presentation of content drove away a lot of users. Many didn't like their new interface. Personally, I left before that because I was tired of the "power diggers" that controlled what everyone saw. It didn't feel community driven any longer.

> at least in theory

no it was not community driven, that was their mistake, that is something a user ends up figuring out and leaves
