New Trillanes Site Blocked from Digg

Looks like Gloria lackeys have penetrated Digg. When I submit Senator Trillanes’ new site, I get this error message:

URL blocked
This URL has been widely reported by users as being regularly used to spam Digg’s submission process and cannot be submitted at this time.

Take note that I’m no fan of the good Senator. He’s a sloppy coup plotter who just gives Gloria more excuses to push the envelope. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he secretly works for Gloria. Love him or hate him, his site is still newsworthy and should be dugg.

Newsvine Relaunches

Newsvine Relaunches

Integrating the movable panels of Netvibes and the live updates of Digg BigSpy, social news site Newsvine relaunches. While Newsvine’s 600,000 mostly political users aren’t as powerful as Digg’s 1,000,000 mostly technical users, Newsvine has that formal newsprint look some people need to grasp their news.

Digg Defies MPAA on HD-DVD Decryption Code

In a bold move that will go down in the annals of Internet legend, Digg founder Kevin Rose joins the Digg Revolt of 2007 by defying the MPAA’s order to make the HD-DVD decryption code an “unspeakable” number.

You’d rather see Digg go down fighting than bow down to a bigger company. We hear you, and effective immediately we won’t delete stories or comments containing the code and will deal with whatever the consequences might be.

If we lose, then what the hell, at least we died trying.

Yes, Kevin, you have balls the size of Google. You richly deserve your $60 million. And your hot girlfriend.
