February 16, 2007 at 01:39Yahoo criticized for “Digg clone”
After launching its new project, Suggestion Boards Yahoo was harshly criticized by Digg.com users, who saw in the new brainchild of the Internet giant an overt copying of their website’s ideas.
The protests of Digg activists have intensified many times after the official announcement of the launch of the project on Yahoo's corporate blog, where it was presented as original and unparalleled.
It is worth recognizing that the Suggestion Boards interface is actually painfully reminiscent of a well-known news resource, but it is not so simple to draw direct parallels between them in functionality. In general, the resource is very interesting and deserves a separate wide review.
