I don't recall people having a problem with Digg's in-stream advertising. It was much more well received than the giant background advertisements they had previously been going with. Digg's downfall had nothing to do with the way they monetized; their shtick simply became a feature of larger, more attractive products.

digg's ads only work if you enable javascript

Twitter only works if you enable JavaScript.

How so? Browsing twitter.com/username or twitter.com/username/status/tweetid works. Other than a bad habit of giving other people URLs with content in the fragment id which have to be repaired, they seem more competent than most web authors.

Sadly, m.twitter.com does some terrible things to the Android browser and gets it stuck in some sort of redirect loop.

Have you tried its CNAME[1] directly?
