Wow. Some (insert expletives here) just buried the story.More traffic to the site? Isn't that what DIGG is all about? To bring traffic to the cool, interesting stuff online. Wake up.I hear some countries are kicking out democratically-elected presidents because they realize a few years down the road that they're not so great after all. That's democracy for you.Yes, it is a commentary. Too much time on my hands? Some people actually do some intellectual work, you know.Sigh.
I think he's looking WAY to into his front page articles... marked as lame.What he is forgetting is that he was just a flash in digg users eyes out of hundreds of other diggs. Its like writting an article becaues a celebrity shuck your hand.... along with 500 other people, but you are the special one?!
Wow.. along with too much hype at the website, I agree he caught many attentions on the articles he wrote. The Mac vs Windows article is a good one, though.

Kind of reminds of certain "democratic" governments.

Well, I had two stories go front page yesterday:<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/gaming_news/Count_down_and_save_money_for_the_Wii">http://digg.com/gaming_news/Count_down_and_save_money_for_the_Wii</a><a class="user" href="http://digg.com/gaming_news/Wii_gets_added_ability_to_forgive_sins">http://digg.com/gaming_news/Wii_gets_added_ability_to_forgive_sins</a>From what I can tell they got FP'ed for a few reasons:1) Be timely. The Wii is hot right now, so articles about it are going to be popular2) Don't be too serious. Post #2 was total satire and Post #1 has a much need Pirate mode (it is more popular than the European page based on my logs).3) Luck...well, not luck. But you do need a few people with some good friends groups to digg your article to speed things up a bit.4) Most importantly, have content worth while.
