Two days ago Hugg died. Hugg used to be one of my favourite websites - run by the fabulous Treehugger, it was like Digg for green stories. I used to submit Bean Sprouts stories to Hugg to get a few more hits here, and a few of them made the front page. I never made the front page of Digg. And I also read Hugg to get a heads-up on upcoming green stories. It rocked.But really Hugg had been sick for a long time. It started to die about a year ago, when Treehugger relaunched it with much fanfare. Except new Hugg was a bit like new coke. It sucked. It wasn't half as good as old Hugg. The readership of Hugg dwindled. The amount of traffic it brought to Bean Sprouts dropped to about nothing. The number of good stories on there dropped to only slightly more than nothing. And I gave up on it. So it's not really a surprise that Treehugger gave up on it too.
R.I.P. Hugg. We really need something to replace you.

I tag environment stories in my Delicious stream. I wish I'd known about HUG in it's hey day. Obviously my Delicious stream is a bit of a backwater for getting these stories out there, but they're still there for your perusal.

I don't know about other readers, but I could do with one of your masterclass blogs on Digg, Stumbleupon etc. I'm not altogether sure I understand what they are and what use I could make of them.
I'm not sure I do either, just Gai! I can do Digg, but Stumbleupon and del.icio.us leave me scratching my head. I have played with them but I still don't see how they work. I have a Facebook page, but I've never used MySpace, and Twitter is a closed book to me. I'm not quite up to Web 2.0 yet. I'm still at around Web 1.5.
