Knightwise and the Digg Poll
For those that don’t know what happened, have a listen to The Global Geek Podcast Number 28. But basically Knightwise was firing on all cylinders and we had a great show. For some reason he made a big call on the future of Digg. This is the test of his theory put into action.
Knightwise basically stated that in a year Digg will be dead. His exact quote has been extracted and submitted to Quotiki. The Quotiki guys accepted the submission and now Knightwise’s quote has been added to the likes of Albert Einstein and Napoleon.
Now the poll. The poll will be open for a year from the date that he said the quote. We shall revisit his quote then. What is your opinion? Do you think he is right or wrong. Do you have a prediction of your own? Something else to add? Then drop a comment or email us with your own contribution so we can get your opinion aired on the show!
Please visit Quotiki to see the full quote, there are also some notes about what motivated it. Or listen to show number 28 where the whole conversation evolved as there was a lot more to it than just what Knightwise said.
Here is The Knightwise Digg Poll:

I hope Knightwise is wrong, but he does makes some good points (I still voted false though). Nice poll plugin!

Hey Shawn – no plugin you can use it too! It is a generated poll via Poll Daddy. Click the link on the poll and create your own poll and generate the code, it is that easy.

The trust metrics of Digg are flawed. Until these flaws are fixed, Digg is on borrowed time.
