- lukasmack, on 04/19/2008, -30/+569Google really do go deep into these things and that's why I love them. They won't just change results by hand when criticized they shall go into detail and fix the whole problem, one of the few large companies that does a job properly.

Dear Digg,
The thumbs up button is broken
Thanks - jr93087, on 04/19/2008, -20/+178I don't find this at all surprising...A company should constantly be looking for a better way to serve its customers
- falconer, on 04/19/2008, -1/+129I think this might have been a clever plan to get everyone to hit the thumbs-up button...
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -9/+92The thumbs down button still seems to work though.
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -6/+74Yes.
Go die. - ZachSka87, on 04/19/2008, -3/+56I see what you did there.
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -1/+48I'm sure he meant to say users. CALM THE ***** DOWN!!
- Morghin, on 04/19/2008, -11/+54You won't be staying ahead in the game, making oodles of money 'n *****, by resting on your laurels.
- WhoPharted, on 04/19/2008, -36/+67please dig me down
- PantherX, on 04/19/2008, -11/+32Wow. That's more than once a day... and then if you remove weekends it's more like twice a day.
- demodawid, on 04/19/2008, -2/+20Really? NO WAY! I'll show you it wo...
Oh. Smart. - kontact, on 04/19/2008, -1/+17450 times is more than once a day
- hmunkey, on 04/19/2008, -0/+12...and transitively are their customers.
- wtfmate112, on 04/19/2008, -1/+13^ Looks like the thumbs down is working fine.
- pcdescha, on 04/19/2008, -0/+11That reminds me of this:
http://www.wowbash.com/image-1998.html - KaiUno, on 04/19/2008, -1/+8Have you tried googeling it?
- Tamant, on 04/19/2008, -6/+12Maybe "users" or "supporters" would be more correct? word nazi's..lol
- Dobby156, on 04/19/2008, -1/+7well you just commented, and you not the first.
- Cattywampus, on 04/19/2008, -2/+8I don't know that they're hiding anything, I'd guess that they're trying to a) tweak the algorithm to give more accurate results and b) throw off people who seek to game the system by manipulating keywords, etc. to draw more attention to their sites, even though they may be spam sites.
Tweaking the formula 450 times in one year does sound like a lot, though. - inactive, on 04/19/2008, -1/+6No, it means they are constantly looking for ways to improve. You a glass half-empty kind of guy?
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -0/+4What about funeral homes?
- xDynaBlade, on 04/20/2008, -1/+5I've never seen so many stupid comments on one story before..
- KaiUno, on 04/19/2008, -0/+4Yeah, I should've googled it first.
- Agreb91, on 04/20/2008, -1/+4I really don't find that surprising either since Google needs to keeps results accurate and better than other search engines out there.
- p0tent1al, on 04/19/2008, -0/+3Diggers: Keep people like this at 1 digg, they lose either way.
- energyblue, on 04/19/2008, -5/+8I'm feeling lucky.
- rafiss, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3I can't tell if you made that mistake on purpose or not.
- diggpulp, on 04/19/2008, -0/+3how Google's algorithm works:
http://www.google.com/technology/pigeonrank.html - m0tbaillie, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2Google provides a service that you utilize - whether you pay for it or not, that still makes you a customer/consumer.
- championchap, on 04/19/2008, -0/+2New?
It's the return of a fad! I'm get out my yo-yo! - harryterry, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2i hate when people say that it's on the front page with no comments. why don't you be smart and comment then
- kcirtap6075, on 04/19/2008, -0/+2that was one of the most useless comments i've ever seen on digg
- Aliminator, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2they don't put "miserable failure" as a link to g.w.bush's biography. I call that a downgrade!
- CCoe, on 04/19/2008, -0/+2You lost me at "Yo." and got an insta-bury.
- AngeloM3, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1haha... learn your South Park'isms before you type.................it's Manbear(pig)
- brooklotzkar, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1apparently not
- ninja0, on 04/19/2008, -0/+1+1
- Dylson, on 04/19/2008, -4/+5NEVAR
- ninja0, on 04/19/2008, -1/+21.23. i had to do it i dont know why haha.
- junkwheel, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Your mind.
- OrangeSoda31, on 04/21/2008, -0/+1I prefer 0
- OrangeSoda31, on 04/21/2008, -0/+1NEVER! I digg you for one!
- OrangeSoda31, on 04/21/2008, -0/+1Luckily, I won the game
- dming, on 04/19/2008, -3/+4Well advertisement companies wouldn't make much money if there are no users to Google... so yeah indirectly we are their customers, and probably the most important one at that.
- OrangeSoda31, on 04/21/2008, -0/+1Am I supposed to be looking at a missing image?
- inactive, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1LOL. I didnt taken me long to know it was a typical google april fools.
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -3/+4pretty sure it's 'googling'
- zeromancer, on 04/19/2008, -1/+1Look out for Thorny: MASTER of reverse psychology.
- diggpulp, on 04/19/2008, -0/+0how Google's algorithm works:
http://www.google.com/technology/pigeonrank.html - KibibyteBrain, on 04/19/2008, -2/+2It is a fairly strange relationship to have the user and the payer be different people. The only other business models I can think of similar to this would be office supplies/furniture or toys for children, marketed to the kids product feature wise but marketed price wise and education value wise to parents. Even television, radio, and print media are different as they have multiple revenue streams and have publicly regulated content/licenses.
