TehDan in response to the comments about IE incompatbility….
surely u cant be trying to imply rhis is anyones fault except the creators ??
and yes u can make a website both ie and firefox compatible but why would you cater for the poor standards ie tries to adhere too?

down to the real crunch tho, good article. shoutwire is a great place to go for actual opinions and usually is just a good read. the freedom of speach they allow is a big plus and i think the fact most members are so criticle provides a real challange to writers (bloggers whatever you want to call yourself….) to produce decent quality works.

Then again, I also use an ANTIVIRUS software called Nod32 along with Spybot Search & Destroy. Firefox might be safer but without any damn protection you're gonna get your box infected. Also, nice little tribute to Shoutwire. Good work. ;D Eeehm, I’m using IE7 and browsing Shoutwire has never given any harmful results.

Digg is a great site and has its unique purpose, and I'm sure you love it. Guess what? There are other communities (e.g., Reddit, ShoutWire, Newsvine) that people enjoy. These communities offer their own unique aspect to social bookmarking and more importantly PUBLIC media world. As the author astutely mentioned in his article, it is the community that truly makes a site quality. ShoutWire has some of the most awesome, albeit critical at times (which is good), communities on the net who will actually read/debate things submitted.

Hell, all you need is firefox (:D) and a couple of handy addons and you're rolling. What other articles have you gotten on shoutwire?

If I was infected, I would still not have abandoned the site 100%. I would look at the problem and taken steps to combat it. There are 1000s of people at Shoutwire. You think they are there simply? Definitely, there has to be some value. And, I am definitely not going easy on them. Since the time I have used them, I have benefited a lot. Not once harmed. I also like their openness unlike Digg.com that is a dictatorial based community. I dont know why you have Digg.com in your comment link, but if you are a love of Digg, then I am sorry I disappointed you. Digg sucks left right and center. Jamie,

And don't say "Well just use Firefox" 'cos i already do. The point is that this is an editorial based news group openly trying to infect people with spyware. Sears website and Facebook have been blasted for this in previous weeks so why go easy on Shoutwire?
