Gizmodo/Lifehacker Announce No Digg Spams

Two of the world's largest blogs Gizmodo and Lifehacker announced today that they will be dropping the yellow Digg button on their articles, unless they are exclusive or original content created by themselves.

Gizmodo and Lifehacker also encourage their fans to stop submitting all of their posts to Digg. It make sense because many Digg users are just submitting everything they read to Digg. As much as I like their ideas behind it, I think it is hard to regulate and people will just continue to submit whatever they feel like.

It seems like 90% of the technology blogs that I read have the Digg badge or some sort of social bookmarking buttons... Are we going to see other major blogs going to follow suit?
