Digg Silences Shout

Social new site Digg today followed up last week's announcement by removing its link sharing Shout feature. The feature, which many users complained favored top posters, has been phased out in favor of external sharing methods such as Facebook, Twitter, and e-mail.

Digg hopes the move will help raise the site's profile on those external sources. According to The Los Angeles Times, Digg users have begun working on Twitter-based Shout replacement using a #digguser hashtag, thereby creating a Shout-like stream on the microblogging service.
