    I gotta disagree with you on some of this Pete. I wrote a review of ZapZap this morning before reading yours, but I don't think that digg-style voting is going to be thought of as proprietary to digg. It's a very logical function of the web and I think people will think of digg as an innovator that it only makes sense to follow in other fields. On mainstream adoption, I think that many non early adopters are into podcast listening - but from their desktops instead of mp3 players. ZapZap has a nice player and supports video too. I think it'll be hard for them to differentiate themselves from other, similar services - but I do think they did a good job and have a shot.
