People love the mob rule mentality, and actually it has become more and more part of the "web 2.0" experience. I know Slashdot is a great resource, and as Digg becomes more popular, it becomes more polluted, but there is still something about it that people love. While I keep hoping for a Web 2.1 version of Digg where there is more of a Contributor - Moderator - Admin aspect more like Slashdot's editors, I think Digg in its current form will continue to be a popular "Web 2.0" resource. Also, please don't think that a Web 1.0 site is not as good as a Web 2.0 site. Just because we deem one site Web 2.0, does not mean its a better version than anything else out there.

About the only difference is editorial content. In Slashdot someone decides if a story should be on the page, in Digg, it's down to mob tactics and whether enough 12 year olds think it's 'cool'. On slashdot the 12 year olds are at least restricted to comments only. web 2.0 needs editorial as well. It's good that more people can get content online more easily, but there needs to be some quality editorial control around as well. And Digg is not editorial control.... There's a huge amount of crap voted for by the 'general public'. How come Slashdot is web 1.0, but Digg is web 2.0?
