Digg vs. Reddit

Seems the media is upholding Digg’s false image of superiority over Reddit, its rival user-driven information site.

I’ve sensed that my flavor of controversial stories never seem to achieve any prominence on Digg. The paranoid side of me thinks Digg is more easily influenced by the establishment, and therefore rewareded with favorable reviews by Big Media.

Reddit Slandered in Media?

By the way, there is a ***brilliant*** cartoon about the Digg-Reddit war. It’s extremely well-told and full of inside-jokes.

part 1
part 2 (The bird is reference to Twitter and the short life-span of the average user’s active participation.)
I don’t think part 3 exists yet, but feel free to search.

Schiff on Gold, currency war, ADP, inflation, jobs

* Gold, Swiss Frank making new records.

* Currency war = each country trying to destroy itself most quickly

* Big Media still interpreting bad economic news as good for stocks b/c it causes Fed to ease.

* CNBC Gold Bug “Gold not a hedge against inflation, but a hedge against a weakening dollar.” Huh?

* Krugman took a jab and Schiff — “How’s that hyperinflation thing going?”

* Peter ends with explanation of why he’s setting up a business off shore.
