Jeremy Parish on link aggregator sites:

I’ve gotta say, I’m not a big fan of link aggregator sites like Digg, since the people they send have no interest in developing a long-term relationship with the sites they hammer en masse; the only benefit that a link from such places offers comes from the boost your banner ad impressions receive. Needless to say, this does you no damn good if your site doesn’t have banner ads. Then it’s just a lot of people racking up bandwidth charges so they can vomit a half-formed complaint and hyperactively flutter to the next shiny link that catches their attention.

God, I’m the Internet equivalent of a cranky old person yelling at kids to get off his lawn. “In my day, we had webrings! And link banners! And we had to hand-code our own HTML for our E/N websites! And we liked it that way!”

Sounds like these two would find plenty to agree upon here.
