"content": "\u003cp>In the recent dumbing down of comedy, the Internet has a lot to answer for. IM — the epistolary equivalent of a drugstore impulse buy — has hastened the process of simplifying the comedic impulse to a few iconic images and phrases exchanged liberally among friends. \u003ca href=\"http://www.stuffonmycat.com/\" target=\"_offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">Stuff on people’s cats\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww\" target=\"_offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">Stupid people\u003c/a>. And the pinnacle in mind-numbing inanity, \u003ca href=\"http://snoopydogfight.ytmnd.com/\" target=\"_offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">YTMND sites\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But can I truly condemn a medium that has brought me so many hours of comedy gold? I remember the afternoon that I discovered the epic video series instigated by Michel Gondry’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-eZEDkFYFA\" target=\"_offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">Rubik’s Cube stunt\u003c/a>. And for every depressingly crappy \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHmvkRoEowc\" target=\"_offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">Chris Crocker\u003c/a> link that I’ve been sent, there’s been a thoroughly satisfying \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z93Kvl3YMWQ\" target=\"_offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">Sesame Street/Casino crossover\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a new, more evolved, twist on Internet comedy has been dominating my monitor for the past couple of months: \u003ca href=\"http://www.superdeluxe.com\" target=\"_offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">SuperDeluxe\u003c/a> — a comedy Web site that features a few of my favorite comedians and scores of new ones.

"content": "\u003cp>Shove over “Karma”-whores and make room — disillusioned Diggers want a seat on the piano bench. Media participation is, after all, an inalienable right! This was the sentiment at work last month when disgruntled fans of the social news site Digg began showing up suddenly and loudly on Reddit, a smaller social news site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In case you’re one of those clever individuals who’ve as of yet been able to resist frittering away untold hours online, let me explain that community-powered news-aggregator sites like \u003ca href=\"http://www.digg.com\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">Digg\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://reddit.com\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">Reddit\u003c/a> are online hubs of passionate, topical activity. Individuals post links to web content they find interesting, amusing or important, and fellow community members vote the links up or down, all the while discussing, disputing, dismissing or otherwise contributing further content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are plenty of sites like this around these days, some, like \u003ca href=\"http://www.newsvine.com\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">newsvine\u003c/a>, more newsy than others, and even traditional sites, like \u003ca href=\"http://www.netscape.com\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">Netscape\u003c/a>, have begun incorporating elements of the social-news schema. But Digg vs. Reddit is a popular blog \u003ca href=\"http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Digg+vs.+Reddit%22&btnG=Google+Search\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">meme\u003c/a> and the inadvertent competition between them takes top billing when it comes to comparing social news aggregators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Digg is larger, and more technology-focused, while Reddit features more of a general-interest mix of technology, science, politics, and other news. Usually, however, if something’s at all worth noticing, it will show up in both places (and on sites like \u003ca href=\"http://www.boingboing.net\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">Boing Boing\u003c/a> as well).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is good, because it means I’m not pressed to visit Digg in order to find out what the hell’s going on online. As someone who likes to chew the fat now and again, especially about certain newsworthy topics, I find myself checking the headlines on Reddit at least once a day, and speed-reading through the threads of mostly witty and occasionally informative comments posted by other users. But I rarely visit Digg. It’s just not for me. That’s not to say you won’t like it, though. If you and your Linux-savvy friends frequently debate preferred methodologies for “packing kernels,” then veer into fart joke territory, well — I’d say Digg is, in fact, THE news aggregator for you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, the two sites have quite different communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or at least they did until roughly a month ago, when members of the Digg community posted an HD-DVD decryption code and Digg administrators \u003ca href=\"http://blog.digg.com/?p=73\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">took it down\u003c/a>. Users posted it again. It came down. And again: up, down. This cycle continued throughout the day, until finally, Digg co-founder Kevin Rose \u003ca href=\"http://blog.digg.com/?p=74\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">responded\u003c/a> by saying Digg would stop removing the code and the posts related to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But by then, many Digg users were either furious, or forlornly broken-hearted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite an overblown reaction in much of the unfortunately-termed “blogosphere,” none of this was all that surprising. The whole concept of a “social news” site is still relatively young, and to be fair, the folks who run these sites are forced to kind of make it up as they go along.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Digg’s team has been accused of tampering with content in the past, and Digg has also been the target of stealth marketing campaigns, designed by third parties to rig the system and get stories to the front page on behalf of paying clients. So: admin censored content? Not surprising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What was surprising though (and just a little fascinating) was what happened next — on Reddit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diggers, angry that their participation in their usual community was being taken for granted, simply \u003ca href=\"http://reddit.com/info/1mj8f/comments/c1mlin\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">moved their discussion\u003c/a> over to Reddit. Slowly, new redditor after new redditor, each with a karma of “1” (what you get for registering) began showing up, ranting, analyzing, and posting links to the other site as evidence of this unfair turn of events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redditors \u003ca href=\"http://reddit.com/info/1mj8f/comments?offset=1\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">chimed in on that discussion\u003c/a> — some being regulars of both sites, some interested in the Digg redactions on principle, some to make it thoroughly clear they were skeptical of this vocal new wave of folks from across the fence. There was much verbal eye-rolling on the part of long-time redditors, sure the migration would destroy the quality of Reddit posts, mods and comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after a few hours, the new redditors — members of the Digg influx — \u003ca href=\"http://reddit.com/info/1mpwr/comments\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">began to point out that they were new\u003c/a> to Reddit, look around at everything, and exclaim to each other about the differences. Hey! Look how much faster it loads! The comments are nested! More stories on the front page!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also had suggestions for redditors: someone should do something about this ugly user interface! Here’s a way you could improve the recommendation feature. Here’s another. This search is crap! Why can’t I have karma for commenting?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was truly novel, and I was hooked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Digg’s demographic skews younger than Reddit’s, and both sites skew heavily male. I felt like a bunch of younger brothers had suddenly wandered into my room and started picking up the things on my dresser, turning them over and asking about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, without warning, my same-aged siblings started slapping their hands and \u003ca href=\"http://reddit.com/info/1mbhv/comments?offset=2\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">laying down some rules\u003c/a>. The recent-but-experienced redditors tended to answer questions help desk style, and a few entrenched redditors turned into blowhards, with one or another of the \u003ca href=\"http://reddit.com/info/1mpwr/comments/c1mrdo\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">old timers acting all gramps-y\u003c/a> and harkening back to the good ol’ days in early ’06 when there were only about five redditors anyway, and the only discussions were about atheism and libertarian ideology.

Media participation is, after all, an inalienable right! This was the sentiment at work last month when disgruntled fans of the social news site Digg began showing up suddenly and loudly on Reddit, a smaller social news site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In case you’re one of those clever individuals who’ve as of yet been able to resist frittering away untold hours online, let me explain that community-powered news-aggregator sites like \u003ca href=\"http://www.digg.com\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">Digg\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://reddit.com\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">Reddit\u003c/a> are online hubs of passionate, topical activity. Individuals post links to web content they find interesting, amusing or important, and fellow community members vote the links up or down, all the while discussing, disputing, dismissing or otherwise contributing further content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are plenty of sites like this around these days, some, like \u003ca href=\"http://www.newsvine.com\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">newsvine\u003c/a>, more newsy than others, and even traditional sites, like \u003ca href=\"http://www.netscape.com\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">Netscape\u003c/a>, have begun incorporating elements of the social-news schema. But Digg vs. Reddit is a popular blog \u003ca href=\"http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Digg+vs.+Reddit%22&btnG=Google+Search\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">meme\u003c/a> and the inadvertent competition between them takes top billing when it comes to comparing social news aggregators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Digg is larger, and more technology-focused, while Reddit features more of a general-interest mix of technology, science, politics, and other news. Usually, however, if something’s at all worth noticing, it will show up in both places (and on sites like \u003ca href=\"http://www.boingboing.net\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">Boing Boing\u003c/a> as well).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is good, because it means I’m not pressed to visit Digg in order to find out what the hell’s going on online. As someone who likes to chew the fat now and again, especially about certain newsworthy topics, I find myself checking the headlines on Reddit at least once a day, and speed-reading through the threads of mostly witty and occasionally informative comments posted by other users. But I rarely visit Digg. It’s just not for me. That’s not to say you won’t like it, though. If you and your Linux-savvy friends frequently debate preferred methodologies for “packing kernels,” then veer into fart joke territory, well — I’d say Digg is, in fact, THE news aggregator for you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Users posted it again. It came down. And again: up, down. This cycle continued throughout the day, until finally, Digg co-founder Kevin Rose \u003ca href=\"http://blog.digg.com/?p=74\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">responded\u003c/a> by saying Digg would stop removing the code and the posts related to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But by then, many Digg users were either furious, or forlornly broken-hearted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite an overblown reaction in much of the unfortunately-termed “blogosphere,” none of this was all that surprising. The whole concept of a “social news” site is still relatively young, and to be fair, the folks who run these sites are forced to kind of make it up as they go along.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Digg’s team has been accused of tampering with content in the past, and Digg has also been the target of stealth marketing campaigns, designed by third parties to rig the system and get stories to the front page on behalf of paying clients. So: admin censored content? Not surprising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What was surprising though (and just a little fascinating) was what happened next — on Reddit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diggers, angry that their participation in their usual community was being taken for granted, simply \u003ca href=\"http://reddit.com/info/1mj8f/comments/c1mlin\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">moved their discussion\u003c/a> over to Reddit. Slowly, new redditor after new redditor, each with a karma of “1” (what you get for registering) began showing up, ranting, analyzing, and posting links to the other site as evidence of this unfair turn of events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redditors \u003ca href=\"http://reddit.com/info/1mj8f/comments?offset=1\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">chimed in on that discussion\u003c/a> — some being regulars of both sites, some interested in the Digg redactions on principle, some to make it thoroughly clear they were skeptical of this vocal new wave of folks from across the fence. There was much verbal eye-rolling on the part of long-time redditors, sure the migration would destroy the quality of Reddit posts, mods and comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after a few hours, the new redditors — members of the Digg influx — \u003ca href=\"http://reddit.com/info/1mpwr/comments\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">began to point out that they were new\u003c/a> to Reddit, look around at everything, and exclaim to each other about the differences. Hey! Look how much faster it loads! The comments are nested! More stories on the front page!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also had suggestions for redditors: someone should do something about this ugly user interface! Here’s a way you could improve the recommendation feature. Here’s another. This search is crap! Why can’t I have karma for commenting?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was truly novel, and I was hooked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Digg’s demographic skews younger than Reddit’s, and both sites skew heavily male. I felt like a bunch of younger brothers had suddenly wandered into my room and started picking up the things on my dresser, turning them over and asking about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, without warning, my same-aged siblings started slapping their hands and \u003ca href=\"http://reddit.com/info/1mbhv/comments?offset=2\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">laying down some rules\u003c/a>. The recent-but-experienced redditors tended to answer questions help desk style, and a few entrenched redditors turned into blowhards, with one or another of the \u003ca href=\"http://reddit.com/info/1mpwr/comments/c1mrdo\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">old timers acting all gramps-y\u003c/a> and harkening back to the good ol’ days in early ’06 when there were only about five redditors anyway, and the only discussions were about atheism and libertarian ideology. (This would have been before Reddit’s fondness for cat pictures.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in doing so weren’t the redditors, even the grumpy ones, \u003ca href=\"http://reddit.com/info/1mpwr/comments/c1mu1i\" target=\"offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">displaying just a bit of Reddit pride\u003c/a>?
