Tech Stories on Digg

I thought I'd start things off by introducing myself, I'm David, I'm almost 18, and hopefully will be studying CompSci in a few months.

This first post is just my thoughts on an article I read on Digg.com a few hours ago. The article is "The Decline and Fall of Tech on Digg" and you can find it here. 

Really the article just consists of a few graphs which back up what I guess a number of people must have been feeling for a while now. There has been a huge drop in the quality and quantity of tech stories on digg. When I first found digg, probably a little more than a year ago, I had just started using linux and as such was devouring any article giving linux hints, and there used to be more than enough to keep me occupied for many hours. However these days I'm barely on digg for more than 20 minutes due to the drop in stories that really interest me.

The article says that the drop is due to the larger number of mainstream users frequenting digg, which is fair enough, and if it was just the front page suffering from a lack of tech stories I wouldn't be too worried, however, sifting through the Technology section, there are still very few articles of the quality i was used to.

So... I would like to propose a solution. "Tech" users must be far more ruthless and do as much as they can to improve the quality and number of tech stories on digg. Bury any stories you find that barely pass as tech, or are pointless reposts of old articles. However, I think the most important thing to do is to find, or write, articles
and content that will appeal to like-minded users and make digg a much better place for "techies" to spend their time.
