Digg removes its controversial tool: "Shout"
Shout made it easier for users to send a story they liked the most directly to other people who employed Digg.In certain circumstances,it was very useful and it helped in some of the stories to catch more attention.On the other hand,shouts was mostly utilized for spamming due to which some users decide to turn it off.Another major problem with this feature was that those links, stories that received shouts were better rated .Due to this, all the users started shouting most of their stories.
Digg in the beginning tried to reduce the value of Shouts tool,in order to eliminate the above problems,but finally removed it completely.Now Digg had added buttons to enable sharing of stories on Facebook or on Twitter.This big move has a possibility of driving more people to Digg,though it enables people to drive people to other sites.
