Modern Life is no longer updated.
After a long hiatus due to increased working commitment, lack of inspiration, and unclear goals: I've decided not to rekindle this blog but to start anew in more fertile soil. Modern Life will remain online as-is for the forseeable future.
I'm now posting at my new blog, User Interfaced.

In the context of Digg, I class blogspam as a post that just links to another and regurgitates present content with little or nothing original. The Gawker network is my prime pet-hate when they take other people's content and get the traffic from it. They even cross-link and some of those posts make the frontpage.
They just have enough of their own userbase to push things onto the frontpage.
I don't have any issue with people posting their own stuff. Digg will sort the good from the bad.
