That is interesting. I'll have to look into that a bit more. Although, personally I have given up on Digg getting their head out of their arse. They don't listen to their users, and spin their wheels on "features" instead of improving the main premise of the site.

I just published an article on Digg, the privacy breach at Digg and how it effects your search engine rankings.

I have very detailed documentation but Digg has yet to address it.

In looking at your content I would like to know what you think either here on your blog, in my comments or feel free to email me. = Chris Lang

That is really interesting Bob. I can't believe stories are making it to the homepage with 33 diggs. Clearly there is an obvious bias of some sort. Just as there is an "auto-bury" part of the algorithm, there may be an "auto-promote" too. That's what it sounds like to me.
