marketverticalpartners.com— The “nofollow” tag, when added to a link, prevents Google from counting the link as such a “recommendation”, thus not providing any search ranking benefits to the site being linked to.

Sounds a bit unfair that Google can say how a HTML attribute it supposed to be used. Recommendations are nice but making rules about the use of HTML tags is over stretching their bounds.
Now all we need is a NOTDiggUp tag for Digg submissions by that really small group of people who have dominated the front page, by all kinds of 'gaming of digg', such as blindly digging each other's stories from multiple accounts. We also need some digg administrators willing to limit the power games of those few, to give others a chance at the front page. But none of that will matter soon, if Digg is sold to a corporation...as many of us will be leaving anyhow, being unwilling to be 'sold' to any corporation.
Probably the reason it is on the front page is not because it's new news. Probably because it is now being enforced. A lot of people took huge hits for not using the nofollow tag in their PR. Any link bought needs to have this text so Google does not count it in the search engine results. It was a rule to follow but was not enforced. Now Google is enforcing it and so it has become relevant again.

Isn't the fact that it is on the front page proof that it is "new to us" (meaning the people that AREN'T SEOs)?
