I can DO something with a blog?!

I was reading Digg a couple of minutes ago and I decided that a letter needed to be swiftly written to the people of said web two point oh website. Here is that letter that I said something about in the last sentence up there. Yeah.

Dear Digg,

It has come to my attention that you are getting slightly more inane and pointless with every new story posted. I've set up a list of guidelines for you to follow to save yourself. I am also aware that this list itself breaks rule number four. Eh, oh well.

1. Every picture cannot be THE MOST AMAZING PICTURE YOU HAVE EVER SEEN
1a) Putting (PIC) or (PHOTO) after the above title is, in fact, redundant.

2. You do not need to post a new story every time Ron Paul opens his mouth.
2a) Or Stephen Colbert
2b) Or Steve Jobs
2c) Let's just stay away from the Steves, okay?

3. Link ONCE to a webcomic. XKCD, Penny Arcade, etc, don't need to have new stories every time they publish a new comic. Plus, are people really going to understand that comic about limit notation?

4. I don't care if you want to show me The Top Ten Ways to Get Free Money, Forever. Not all the lists on the internet need linking to. Not:
4a) Lists about movies
4b) Lists about sports
4c) Lists about TV
4d) Lists about the internet
4e) Lists about Ron Paul
4f) Lists about lists
4g) Lists about lists...about TV.
4h) Lists about Franz Lizst, 19th century concert pianist.

5. UBUNTU UBUNTU UBUNTU
5a) U...
5b) ...buntu?

6. If the site is humorous because it's going to surprise me (funny picture, joke, list, etc) don't say the funny part in the title.
6a) He had to reBOOTY! (funny joke)
6b) Why did the computer pirate take the treasure twice? He had to reBOOTY!

7. Wordpress>Error
Error establishing a database connection.....

8. Contrary to popular belief, the title form "Title: Question?" isn't original and never will be.
8a) Rule Eight: The new rule five?

Hopefully by following these guidelines you will be able to become a website for interesting/fun/reliable news once again. I'm sure it'll make your readers very MOST BEAUTIFUL list of Ron Paul Ubuntu Apple Apple! (PICS)

Sincerely,
-Will Steinberg
