I?m going to post my official agreement with what Robert Scoble and others are saying about Google Reader becoming, with a little work, the next Digg. Only this time around, with a lot less noise and more news/tech content that?s truly worthy of sharing. I mean, that is Digg?s downfall, right? Iffy content and noisy comments really limit what Digg can be to serious information consumers.
I?ve thought this very same thing about Google Reader once I started using it as my primary news feed (over excellent Mac apps like NetNewsWire and Newsfire), but I never really fleshed out the idea, and I suppose that?s my fault (I blame Christmas shopping and assembling wooden train sets consisting of 54,500 pieces). But here we are with some pretty big names speculating about this very idea: that with a little luck and effort, Google Reader could very much be in the game against Digg, perhaps even better.
