Yahoo! are taking a bit of stick for their new suggestion board because it copies the way Digg works, but I don't get it. Why reinvent the wheel when Digg's method is so obviously a winner? It's not like they patented the method or social interaction. And besides, Yahoo! are finally doing things right, they just released the impressive Yahoo!

Well ok Google don't seem to need them as they have a knack for hiring incredible talent but still...
