I'm a /. person myself, and I was just curious which way the 'NN tends to lean.

I found out about digg from slashdot and switched for about a year. Digg started to get progressively retarded with too many people plugging their own blogs and just outright stupid things making it to the front page. So I switched back to slashdot recently. Then I realized why I switched away from slashdot (it also has some dumb things that make it). But the comments on slashdot are much more interesting to read than the comments on digg.

To be determined later.

Both sites. They each serve their own purposes. I read digg for random interesting news that are usually not reported anywhere else and slashdot for comments (threshold at 3+)

not comparable really
Digg is good for upto minute content, but no discussions
Slashdot has great discussions
reddit comes in between the two

we don't have time to stop for gas

Well, yesterday I learned about Digg. and I didn't know about slashdot . the last one doesn't fit me all that well, so, um, I'm indifferent?

What Adam and Peter said; my Slashdot preference 4/nested - hopefully Digg gets something similar going, the current system is annoying.

Ditto. I don’t /. and I don’t Digg, but the Lounge isn’t “the only contact I have with the outside world”, either.

Neither.
Diggers get on my nerves, though.

I only visit Digg whenever someone posts a link in the Lounge. I've never been to /.
I really have no interest in neither. If I want news about the world, I go to BBC, FOX, CNN, and Drudge Report. If I want news on technology, I come in here and see what people have posted and linked to. Then I go look up monkey clips on YouTube.

I keep RSS feeds for Slashdot, NN, Think Secret, and c|net. New.com for more formal tech news that wont' get posted on Slashdot. Slashdot for the comments and arguments and what not. And then NN and Think Secret for their Mac related stuff.
I don't use Digg I just never found Digg to have anything that interested me.

I do Digg, but honestly, Digg is pretty awful. It's filled with tons of spam and product wars. Not to mention the "holier then thou" Digg mentality. I swear, if I see one more comment about the "power of Digg" and how Digg "changes the world"...
But Slashdot is slower to push out news. The advantage of Digg is that it's fast.

I don't understand what the problem is with Diggers...just don't read the comment page! I usually have Digg open in a tab and occasionally scan it for interesting stuff, but the only time I visit a comment page is to retrieve an alternative URL when the referred site is down because of the Digg link.

That's EXACTLY what I do.

I go to Slashdot occasionally, but I find that the stories there are old. If I want real tech news, I get it from Ars Technica.
Digg's ok, and I sometimes participate, but the signal-noise ratio is unacceptable. I monitor Digg thru RSS, but rarely click-thru to them.
