- Niao, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16>>If a story is not technology related it doesn't belong on Digg.
This is a social/social engineering experiment.
Trust me. This belongs on Digg. - tsmori, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I always gotta digg anything people say doesn't belong on Digg. You're not the boss of Digg.
- djhifisi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1A bit old but very cool. Definetely a digg. I would rather see ten of these stories than one X-Box re-hash.
- strangeman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1here's a mirror:

- brhad56, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2So you're the God damn kids that keep sticking cups in my fence!

Spelled wrong, of course... - gnuvince, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Here's a question: why do people feel the need to deface the nice message (You are beautiful) and replace it with insults?
- Jalada, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That is really awesome. I definitely digg
- heatus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0says they are based in Chicago on the site :P
- quietstilldead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Was this one in Chicago? I remember something like this about 2 years ago. I had to pass it every day and after about a week it was pretty annoying. Someone also has put little "you are beautiful" stickers all over chicago and those are also annoying.
- MrMysterious, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think that this would be fun to do.
- Clickerness, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Awesome. It's cool to see experiments about the nature of people.
- sundancekid503, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think it's beautiful...
- RogueJediX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very nice. A refreshing change of topic.
- cusoman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very good stuff, diggin it... though now I have that strupid Christina Agulera song in my head - thanks a lot! >:|

If it belongs here is only determined by the fact if people like it. Nothing else matters. I was just going to post : "Let the this-is-no-tech trolls posting begin", but as usual, the trolls were faster. What a pity. Thanks for the SPAM rating.
To the project, I really like it. It is so nice to see when a rather simple idea is executed. Thanks to the internet, you are also able to let more than your grandma know about it. We love you, Internet :) - rompom7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0nothing to do with social engineering as some people have suggested.
cool none the less. - MasteRR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"nothing to do with social engineering as some people have suggested."
Social expirement, not social engineering. - kdehead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0very cool. digg+
- MasteRR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Here's a question: why do people feel the need to deface the nice message (You are beautiful) and replace it with insults?"
I'm sure it was some kid who was amusing himself and/or friends.
Although it could have been another person doing another social experiment. How cool would that be. - quietstilldead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"says they are based in Chicago on the site :P"
Yeah, but there is stuff from other cities on the site as well. - jonathanex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very nice site, nice idea.
- jaspinDroid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You are loved!
- acontorer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I think actually this belongs in the "design" category. In any event, it's just lovely!
- Forward, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Would have been cool if the cups kept changing on their own, rather then having to be resetup by the orignal crew. Of course if left to their own course I would imagine it would all be gone in a short while. Cool to see the changes, Makes me wonder if it was the same group of people who kept writing back.
- Inbal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Although it's cool, it's not an experiment because they messed with it. They changed it three or four times. It's cool, but they should have left it alone to call it an experiment. That's like saying the mouse couldn't find the cheese so I just moved the cheese so he could find it."
"how is it a social experiment if they keep changing it after others change it? shouldn't they have just let it be to see where it went as people interacted with it? whats the point if they kept changing it back to something?"
It doesn't change anything. They kept changing it back to positive comments and got to witness all the different ways people can mess it up, and for how long.
About the "RIAN" incident: is it possible they misspelled "rien"? Or that they were Tolkien fans that tried to imply something only they can understand? I'm troubled. - ezkiel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Someone hack the site so at the end it says you are a fever :P
That would make me 4 or 5x happier than you are beautiful. - VinCenT13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I liked this a lot. I really enjoyed the last message, it gave me hope. Dugg like a hole.
- h4lofourt33n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very cool. But last time I checked, Digg is a "social" bookmarking site. This is a "social" experiment, so let it go. If you keep acting this serious, you'll never get out alive.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0awesome. a bit of beauty in such a cynical world.
- weareglass, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Maybe not tech, but it does have a lot of characteristics of web 2.0, doesn't it? No walled gardens, user-created content...Fence 2.0?
- leonbev, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Bah... This has nothing to do with either AJAX OR Apple. No Digg!
- thotpoizn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0 This was interesting, definitely dugg it. I think it might be interesting to see a follow up on this idea - maybe a large digital display made open to the public, your message to be shown to any and all passers-by (at least until the next message writer comes by and replaces yours).
- edmicman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0how is it a social experiment if they keep changing it after others change it? shouldn't they have just let it be to see where it went as people interacted with it? whats the point if they kept changing it back to something?
- artur.ventura, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's not an experiment, is an installation witch is a form of art
- SaulBey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't buy it. I think it is a faux experiment.
- FooledByRamen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0a truly beautiful movement...
- LTrain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0el jefe - settle down, its just digg.
- sTiVo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0YOU ARE DUGG.
- ramsinks.com, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nice~
- jwcorder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Although it's cool, it's not an experiment because they messed with it. They changed it three or four times.

- triad1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Interesting study of humans - an of those who are willing to brave the snow.
- Niloy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Really neat...
I liked it. - BenDuffy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0BOING!
It's cool. Dugg. I'm so sick of most of the carp that ppl submit to this site this is a refreshing change.
Thanks for the posting, this is why I come here, not for the apple/linux/ajax crap. - diggdeeznutz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Bah humbug....no digg!
- jmonw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0dugg
- weareglass, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Digg is in principle an unmoderated site. If you moderate it, you might as well just call it Slashdot. Ditto for finding irrelevancy in the number of diggs. If you're not happy with it, get your news somewhere else. The promoted stories are determined by the community, not by a bunch of grouches. All we need is some pedantic moderators approving things based on their little sandbox view of what is appropros and what isn't.
- ludemunky, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0why was this removed from the front page????
- Danny, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0BORING!
