"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. here's the comment: http://digg.com/tech_news/Top_100_Digg_Users_Control_56_of_Digg_s_HomePage_Content#c2391219 |
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. |
