There has been a lot of discussion recently about the changing face of the blogging landscape. On one hand many bloggers have turned to the likes of FriendFeed and Twitter to express themselves, instead of their blogs. On the other hand we have a group of professional blogs that are becoming more and more like 'old media'. But interestingly, in both cases, there are complaints about how 'social media' is failing them.

Google buries Digg deal. Marked as a dupe or just lame? (9)

The term sheet was signed and final negotiations were underway, but some due diligence cause Google to walk away from its deal to buy Digg, reports TechCrunch. Thus ends another round of rumors that the social news voting site is being bought. On Digg, users have the option to “bury” a story (basically vote it down) and give a reason for doing so. It appears Google has done the same to this entire deal, but ...Shared by Alex Dumitru (291) BostonDave2005 (6) Brit (24) caozenghui (29) guercheLE (7) J.
