Digg explosion
Wasn't expecting to wake up late here on Sunday morning and find this. I jot down a quick list of iPhone features missing from the iPod touch and sketch out a bit of insight on each of them, and it's front page Digg material? Okay, the public has spoken, and I'll take their word for it :-)
What's funny is I was just thinking last night about the last two times something from iProng has made the Digg front page. One was a silly little story about Ben Affleck watching DVDs on his video iPod, something the movie studios claim is illegal, to prepare for a role in a movie from one of those same studios. The other was an even sillier story about Elton John making fun of the iPod on the tonight show. At least they were both technically iPod-related, but both were silly and inconsequential, and most likely got Digged so much simply because they involved celebrities and the iPod.
But this time it's nice to see that I wrote up something that was intended to be useful, something that would help with early-adopter buying decisions, and it's being seen by so many potential buyers outside of just iProng's regular reader base. Hope it actually helps them.
In any case it's time for me to grab some lunch and get ready for the Dolphins home opener in thirty minutes. Heh, I'm supposed to be in Florida right now, at the game. Never enough time lately for that kind of thing.
