Digg to Replace Shout with Tweet?

By now, most of you are probably aware that Kevin Rose gave a keynote yesterday at Ad:Tech, where he discussed the future of Digg, and hinted at major changes we can expect to see.

    When you’re a real estate agent, you are your own brand. It’s your own reputation, your own name, on the line. And it’s sad that some people don’t seem to care.
