money.cnn.com — With Internet-like speed, blogs have gone from self-indulgent hobbies to flourishing businesses. Real businesses, with real revenue streams from real advertisers, not overhyped next big things. Some of the most popular blogs, long the bane of the mainstream media, are now themselves becoming mainstream.

@quactaur - Aha. Thanks for not being snarky with me. I haven't been a member that long. I didn't realize that Digg had editors on staff that did that sort of thing.

This is pretty cool. I started a Chargers blog and recently got hired by AOL Sports to provide blogging content.This is a perfect example of how the internet has changed the way people live (and do business)<a class="user" href="http://www.bolthype.com/">http://www.bolthype.com/</a> if you are curious

It's not just run by the users. How would that explain how some posts get 20 diggs and goto the frontpage in minutes, some get 20 diggs, wait an hour, then get pushed to the frontpage, and some need hundreds of diggs to be promoted?Yes, there could be a script that has a time-based pattern, but a much simpler explanation (especially considering a lot of the "unfair" elevations are of a similar viewpoint / basis) is that digg has a group of moderators who flag articles to the front page.

@fufubag (nice)Apparently not. It wants to replace it with 'loggers', a sure-fire guarantee to take this thread in an unexpected direction. I could be wrong, but I think it used to not recognize the word digg either.
