I admire you guys' dedication, but I honestly don't think that putting this on the front page of digg is going to speed up efforts to find these people.How many digg'ers are actually out there scouring Gold Beach looking for them?Let the SFPD do their job. They are all over it.. If they fell off the road they will be found.
No reason to pin it. If it's front page news then it's front page news.Important news? Yes, but it's not like other people in the world aren't missing.
Further reading shows that the weather in southern Oregon, down I-5 where he was likely driving was just as bad if not worse, with 40-50 mph headwinds and icy roads. Really dangerous conditions in already not terribly safe roads. Yikes. From now on I'm gonna make sure I always have LoJack or OnStar on any vehicle I drive.
DIGG USERS - CALL TO ACTIONI hate that I am using a sad story such as this to address this point, but I've had enough and I feel that I have to do what I have to do.I am a regular CNET reader, listener, and viewer. James Kim has been in my web browser, iPod, and television on such a regular basis that he's become like an old friend. Reading some of the comments posted on Digg against the many stories about the Kim family disappearance, it's clear that I'm not the only one who feels this way. On the other hand, I have felt physically ill reading some of the comments posted against stories about the Kim family by several users of Digg. I have read through heartless comments complaining that stories are dupes, miscategorized, and other such violations of the almighty "Digg rules." I won't deign to reproduce some of the more despicable comments I've read because they are below any acceptable level of decency and humanity.Digg has the potential to become a great community of individuals sharing intelligent discourse on a variety of subjects. However, it has instead increasingly become a magnet for a large population of truly depraved individuals. I still have hope that these individuals are in the minority and Digg can be taken back from them.So, Digg users, this is your call to action. Join me in blocking users who add to the deterioration of the Digg community. The more of us that block the contemptible degenerates that troll Digg, the faster they will become invisible to the community at large.Allow me to help you on this path. The following is the list of users that I have blocked simply based on their comments against stories about the Kim family:Finstergyroscopicanonymoustrollmrwiggl3sxeno439PAJKAPacSantabotjpeckinpsimonlmdollarsignjkaisermiesesRealHyperXradicaldementiamodafekshengr3yg00sefishbaitcoustoeCharliesRevengeDiggklansmanphophuclaikortizmeepusI will reproduce this list on every existing story I find about the Kim family and every new story that is posted.

Let's not forget these are four young people we are talking about. Even when free speech is used.
