Annoying website habits

Why do they do it?!

1) "Digg This". I mean, seriously, the whole point of Digg was to stumble across stuff, not blatent self-advertising. The whole thing's gone to pot.

2) Filling up your own post with links that only ever go back to your own site. Kotaku are doing this, and so are the Engadget/Joystiq Fanboy sites. That's so annoying! They typically do it on news stories and things, stuff like "Earlier today a video showed a really interesting thing!" so you click the link expecting to see the interesting video, but instead get a search result about videos! !?!?!?

3) Sites that used to post interesting bits of news, and be full of interesting opinion, but eventually gave up and now just post PR's and Screenshots all day.

Feel free to post your own!

If anything, the "digg it" button almost guarantees your site won't get "digg'd"

lol, when I read that link "n-philes.com" I thought it had something to do with necrophilia...





THANK GOD I WAS WRONG.

Not related to the web, but I hate when programs are installed and the folder is named after the company that created the software. Whenever I want to get to that folder, I know what the program is called, but not the company. So I have to guess and look through many folders to find the right one.
