But they have to protect their algorithm otherwise unscruplous persons, and we don't have any shortage of them, will find loopholes and take advantage of that. I have launched a site for the little guy. Please check out from my url. I will post a snippets of this story. Digg is a mystery.

I know Digg uses a "top secret" algorithm to promote stories. However, it's quite another thing to actually have "pre-approved" parameters on what stories will be "eligible" for the front page. (i.e. regardless of the number of diggs you get - you're story will be deleted because it's not going to appeal to the homepage viewers).

Personally I've never been really in favor of Digg since half of the content which makes the main page is the same stuff which has already been covered months earlier so it's pretty much old news by the time someone decides to digg it or rewrite it and digg it for their own content. Not to mention giving yourself a little boost by asking all your friends do digg your latest entry, quality is far to find in digging for friends but still once the first bunch of diggs are there a lot tend to join in anyways. Front page material magically disappearing, just a new thing to add to the list but definitely doesn't surprise me the slightest. Money could indeed be a valid reason for it being done, although there might also be more behind it, who knows. Well, what’s new?
