This story is wrong because stories are only submitted to digg after a blog or whatever gets the news. It's not like the digg users are submitting the information first hand.
I've been wondering about the possibility of testing how many people actually digg an article without reading it. The best solution I can think of unfortunately relies on peoples' willingness to keep a secret, which I doubt would work. There'd be an interesting headline, but believable. However, the article would explain the experiment, what it's testing, and hopefully convince people who actually read the article not to blab about it in the comments, or at least digg down those who do (which wouldn't help much).
lol ..this is supposed to be a joke right ...um hello ...i'd say most digg users are a pretty informed ...in fact, I'd argue that digg users are amongst the most informed on the planet ...this is a social bookmarking site after all ...well anywayz ...digg me down if i'm wrong
