Digg is goign to remove 'Shout' features

[jack01]

Hi folks,

I just came to know that Digg is going to remove the controversial 'shout' features. I think it would be a great step by Digg to prevent spammers from flooding the message system as many of them are hitting the front page by shouting friends in their network.

But any one know why Digg does it?

This is really a good thing for digg , but bad thing for us. Now we won't be able to use shout features anymore. Hope that it adds another features in replacement to this. Digg does this to avoid spammers but now it's goign to affect us too.

Please post a description of what shout is all about. I dont use it but if it does benefit seo then please share.
