Hi friends,

What do you think about the Backbyte section. Tell your views. May be the wish is granted by the Digit authorities!

Yeah, all work and no fun makes Jack a dull boy(BTW, we allways have fun in Digit ;-) ).The net is overflowing with hilarious stuff and tech comic strips. I hope Digit will notice this thread and include it soon.

Backbyte was really cool - I loved it when I first subscribed, but honestly, the time for it has passed. It was great when hardly any of us had internet connections and spam happened to other people, but right now, all our inboxes are overflowing with backbyte-ish content in the form of those annoying forwards.

Sure backbyte should be brought back. it was light years better than tech tabloid thas currently being published.

ps:- About those four who voted against .........
they are like that one dentist in the "nine out of ten dentists approve" line printed on those toothpaste addvetisements.

The internet is also filled with all the articles and tech news that Digit publishes and then some. So, according to your logic, Digit should stop it's publication altogether, shouldn't it?

Listen to this:

Two months before Digit discontinued Backbyte, it conducted a poll on whether Backbyte should be replaced by Quiz. Backbyte won by a huge majority, but Digit replaced it anyway.
