Topic: Digg

	Techcrunch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Digg continues to grow, claiming 20 million visitors per month and an increasing amount of mainstream attention.
		The most recent changes to the Digg algorithm are aimed at grouping users who tend to act as a single voting block, effectively neutralizing their ability to move stories to the home page by simply acting together.
		Digg is an ongoing experiment in a new kind of newspaper - one that has no human editors but rather promotes news stories based on a (weighted) democratic process.

	Omidyar Network \| Digg
		With an estimated terabyte of new content added to the Internet every day, Digg is creating a form of "social content" that allows Internet users to serve as the arbiters of what is most important, rather than traditional editors or other information gatekeepers.
		Digg has frequently drawn unprecedented traffic levels to sites where the original content is located.
		Digg was founded in October 2004 by journalist and technology visionary Kevin Rose, best known for hosting TechTV's "The Screen Savers," and it is led by CEO Jay Adelson, the founder of Equinix (Nasdaq: EQIX).

	Howstuffworks "Behind the Scenes"
		Digg actually doesn't have to store that much since it deals almost exclusively in text, but Adelson reports that the current setup is infinitely scalable.
		Digg doesn't use any cookies, only server-side storage, so all of your user data (past Diggs, friends, comments, etc.) are saved in your Digg profile, which is saved in the Digg database.
		Adelman confirms that there is zero editorial control happening at Digg behind the scenes, whether in submission, promotion or burying (the removal of a story from the Digg queue).

	Digg's Kevin Rose on Recent Indiggnation: Fact vs. Fiction
		Digg factors in the length of time that a person has been a digger as well as the amount of their activity, so stories boosted by old-time frequent diggers will rise above stories that are dugg by newbies to the site.
		Digg users have to participate for an unspecified "short" period of time before their diggs will carry the full weight.
		Howevever, if the senior digg users are using their "power" for evil by setting up multiple digg accounts for themselves to digg the same story then they should be blocked.

	Digg stats analysis
		Digg users also have their favored blogs and websites, which get a disproportionate amount of attention than other less fortunate sites (alas, I'm one of the latter).
		Duggtrends says the percentage of submitted stories that make it to the digg homepage during the week is around 15-19% (using Wed-Thu as a guide).
		We have a theory: Digg users read the headline and description, some participate in the comment discussion, but very few are actually clicking thru to the articles.

	Howstuffworks "How Digg Works"
		Digg is sort of like Slashdot without the editors, bringing a democratic approach to the news-submission Web site.
		And finally there are the Digg readers, who make up the majority of Digg users and reap the benefits of the willing Digg army that promotes the best stories to front page.
		As a Digg user, your help is appreciated in reporting duplicate stories (not allowed), dead links, incorrect stories, oldness, lameness, and spam by clicking the corresponding link in the "problem" drop-down list below each story description.

	Silicon Valley Sleuth: Digg the Slashdot killer
		Digg fixes what is wrong with Slashdot – humans still make the often trivial selections there - and is in my humble opinion is what is needed to push blog reporting further forward, narrowing the gap between them and professional news websites.
		Aug 12, 2005 12:59:05 AM watching the digg spy live feed, it appears to be a real time digg display not an aggragation of the most diggs.
		Digg, on the other hand, regardless of failings, is more essential than any popular news website–is it really a blog?–going.

	Digg - Web2.0List
		digg users do not create content for the site, they simply submit links to stories, blogs, etc. that they believe will be of interest to the community.
		digg is also unique in that it is completely user-driven we do not import stories from other news feeds or give priority listing to any content.
		digg plans to expand into a variety of other areas, including science news, political news, etc. In this sense, we will be developing new areas for digg that will be similar to sections of a newspaper.

	Techcrunch » Blog Archive » The Power of Digg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Digg is only a year and a half old, but it is already a significant social force that moves massive attention and traffic around the Internet.
		The most recent story of abuse is a suggestion that people are using Digg to artificially inflate the price of a public company - Sun - by promoting a rumor that Google may be acquiring the company.
		Digg ordered 18 servers a few weeks ago, Keven is quotated as saying they would order 100 additional servers between oct 2005 and March 2006.

	Home Page
		DIGG aims to provide people who have a disability with the information they need to have control over their lives and to live life to the full.
		It is planned to open this facility to the public when the DIGG homepage is re-launched early 2007.
		Through DIGG you can, obtain information and contact details about local and national organisations which provide help and support for people with a wide range of long-term disabling conditions, including information about the conditions.

	Digg Blog: Digging Fraud
		The banning of forevergeek.com: Aside from the dozens of user reports, several accounts were created to artificially inflate the digg count of their stories.
		Once a story has received enough user reports it is automatically removed from the digg queue or homepage (depending on where the story is living at that time).
		I digg stories I enjoy reading and currently track over 40 users within digg.

	Digg vs. Slashdot (or, traffic vs. influence) (kottke.org)
		Two months ago, a Digg reader noted that according to Alexa, Digg's traffic was catching up to that of Slashdot, even though Slashdot has been around for several years and Digg is just over a year old.
		But the bump in traffic (if any) from Digg on Sunday afternoon pre-Slashdot was not that large and was declining as the afternoon wore on, so any possible Digg aftershock that's obscured by the Slashdot link is minimal and short-lived.
		This indicates that although Digg may rapidly be catching up to Slashdot traffic-wise, it has a way to go in terms of influence[4].

	Digg V3 Launches - Mashable!
		Digg V3, the new version of the social news site, is now live.
		Where the Digg analogy does hold up is in the assumption that the “hivemind” will deliver better results than a small team of entrepreneurs.
		Digg co-founder Jay Adelson says DiggNation is already making between $50,000 and $100,000 per month, and the money will allow them to assemble an ad sales team, rent an office and pay regular contributors.

	Digg Blog
		It was intended to openly highlight some of the things we’re doing to keep digg as useful, democratic, and devoid of misuse as possible.
		It's our job at digg to ensure that stories are promoted based on a diverse pool of diggers (not just friends) - this is something we have tweaked in the past and will continue to tweak going forward.
		Over the last (almost) two years we have learned a lot about the user base and how to defend digg from spam, artificial diggs, and digg fraud.

	News site Digg digs deeper \| CNET News.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Digg, the Web site where users decide what is newsworthy, unveiled a revamped public beta site on Thursday that expands beyond technology news and lets people "dig" videos too.
		Previously, Digg users could submit technology news stories and push them higher up the top of the page by indicating that they like, or "digg," the item.
		Using Digg's new beta, which will be available beginning Monday, users also will be able to do the same for news stories related to world events, business, entertainment, science and gaming, as well as any video submissions, said Jay Adelson, chief executive of Digg.

	Wired News: Digg Just Might Bury Slashdot
		Digg, a San Francisco news site compiled by its own readers, lists links to interesting new technology articles.
		Digg's status as the new Slashdot is further enhanced by digg vs dot, a comparison project that finds diggers are usually first to the punch, though users of each site often submit identical stories.
		But Digg, with its tight weblog integration and Flickr-like reliance on the collective efforts of its members, is pointing the way to a new wave of socially assembled news initiatives, organized and made sense of by readers themselves.

	Digg Army at Binary Bonsai
		That is to say, the people who are likely to spend a vast amount of time on Digg (with it being, probably, their first port of call) and who probably represent a or ‘the’ Digg core (much like the Flickr core).
		That said, on a site which is ‘rebellious’ and generally thought of as the underdog that would be king, it is something of a paradox that they are willing to use underhanded methods in trying to suppress the opinions of their own users.
		It’d be really interesting to see the timestamps of the diggs on each post and the timestamps between each of the 19 users as well..

		Nor was it that Digg had reeled in a $2.8 million round of financing from an A-list assortment of investors including Greylock Partners, Omidyar Network, and Marc Andreessen.
		Rose believes that the popularity of Digg boils down to the way it taps into what's known (in the words of author James Surowiecki) as the wisdom of crowds.
		The schoolmarmish objection to Digg--as it was to the Daily Me--is that personalized news is bad for democracy, that it narrows the diet of readers to topics they're already interested in (all ice cream, no spinach) and allows them to ingest only analysis with which they're inclined to agree.
