ShoutWire really seem to want to stir up something with a recent editorial: http://www.shoutwire.com/comments/4382/African_American_Rapist_Rapes_Again Am I the only one that find this a little backwards?
I suspect that will be removed (although its been up 6 hours) There are so many things wrong with that the least of which being the tag at the end
That is by the same people going into webmaster forums and attacking us for our stories submitted, seems like shoutwire is just a bunch of clowns who accidentally came up with something popular.
shoutwire is teh lame. The could embrace the community and grow but instead they have become somewhat arrogant.... its to bad cause its a good idea. (non tech digg)
I'm not surprised after one of their employees came into DP calling us assholes and scam artists. The way they are communicating is on the least professional level I have ever seen an organization of their popularity do.
They need to sell out to a major and get out of running the site themselves. Who just bought Del.icio.us?
Yahoo! did, and I agree, they are too big for they own capacities right now (intellectually speaking)

Was looking at Shoutwire after I airballed a post at Digg and was looking for alternatives. Good grief, what a bunch of juveniles. Not surprising that these guys are associated with the w@r3z sk3n3.
They're a bunch of kids who have had the energy to get it started, but now that they are up there, they don't have the skills or experience to use it right
Actually, I have just seen this http://pligg.com/story.php?id=95 in the top results for the keyterm of that contest.
He addressed the issue and I completly agree with him. I also didnt see any problems in the article originally except childish remarks in the end. Here it is http://www.shoutwire.com/comments/4435/Is_ShoutWire_Racist
