Digg to Replace the Shout Feature… with Tweets?

Recent news indicates that Digg will be giving the axe to the ‘Shout’ feature, commonly used and abused by many Diggers around the world, and apparently it will be replaced by Tweets, and sharing via Facebook Connect.

digg-dialoggThis is still sort of an unknown change, not many people fully grasp the concept (especially me). I am all for change, but my gripes with it are that I don’t have ANYONE on Facebook from Social Media websites for obvious personal reasons, but promoting on Twitter has usually never been too much of a problem. Although, it isn’t always effective. Out of 260~ followers, I’d say that maybe at the most I can get 10 to Digg, and this is by also having a friend retweet.

Are you guys worried about the changes to the “share” feature of Digg?

Seriously I don’t think so that digg will change this feature with tweet, no way..

Well I don’t really use digg all that much to be honest but I have a pretty good presence on Twitter so I should be able to get some diggs if I needed to.
