"At Digg, a very select group of users is dominating the popular homepage content"

Digg seems to be getting worse. Today I can't find any good stories.

here's the discussion about it on digg: http://digg.com/tech_news/Top_100_Digg_Users_Control_56_of_Digg_s_HomePage_Content

i was so convinced of the idea of disabling the friend's feature to fix this matter, but another user suggesting just making it weaker, so nobody complains. that means if a user digg his friend's digg, it shouldn't count that much. would be a very god improvement to the alogarithm of getting stories to frontpage.

I don't think it's very different from most community sites. There's a "very select" core of users at Wikipedia, Slashdot, Blogoscoped etc.

Of course it has its downsides too, but maybe that's what keeps a community site moving along steadily rather than fragmenting into factions.

Google Accessible Search didn't make it to the Digg frontpage. Slashdot won this one.

It will, don't worry about that. But it's an interesting observation.
