Reddit makes it to front page of Digg

Horray! Reddit made it to the front page of arch-rival Digg. Again. In what seems like a not too surprising occurence once every couple of weeks or so, Digg seems to “emulate” arch social bookmarking rival yet again. This time, its a Youtube video about glass and scotch tape. This was posted on Reddit on 22 July 2009.

The exact same video made it to the front page of Digg on 23 July 2009, the very next day. Deja vu anyone?

This is hardly surprising, as the favourite pastime for Digg power users seems to be scavenging day-old Reddit content and posting it on Digg to get rave reviews by 16 year old virgins. Digg is rapidly becoming the Fox News of social bookmarking. Unoriginal, run of the mill, mass consumed. That’s Digg for ya.
