Digg vs Shoutwire

Which is better? Digg or Shoutwire.

FYI Digg came first and shoutwire is a copy of Digg. However, it attempts to fork its development into areas not covered by Digg yet.

However, there are still many problems that both of them share. For example how do you guard against fanboys just pushing up the rating of something that is about Apple or Digg. One method could be to have a "Don't Digg This" button where you can get the right balance between the views of the whole community.

Some rubbish still seems to get into the front page and so it may be an idea that people who are regular posters and get a good Digg rating...their digg's count more than just one digg. This could let the more active members to stamp out those who just post to cause trouble getting a much better quality of editing in the long run.

They also need a system of getting users to develop their comments so that they are as informative as say something like Slashdot. The classic would be to also digg the comments so that the best comments are highlighted and the ones with the least diggs are somehow made less visible (perhaps collapsed or smaller font).

Just a few ideas...
