=======================
Based on previous commenter analysis, this is the greatest post ever. - FrostySol, on 11/14/2008, -1/+42So... this is a graph of MrBabyMan's sleeping patterns?
- vagrantwade, on 11/14/2008, -22/+57Buried because I think MrBabyMan is a ***** tool.
- uncleosbert, on 11/14/2008, -2/+31it's kind of depressing to think the time you upload something determines its popularity more than it's content.
- yunus, on 11/14/2008, -2/+27This fails to explain why XKCD is always dugg.
- inactive, on 11/14/2008, -0/+20Pretend fame.
- Coffeedemon, on 11/14/2008, -0/+16Why?
- drez24, on 11/14/2008, -0/+15EPIC FAIL! TOP TEN REASONS UR MOM'S BOOBS CAN ***** THE RIAA.
UPVOTE IF THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT (ASCII Pedobear art). - Llanowar, on 11/14/2008, -4/+19I hate scribd.
- inactive, on 11/14/2008, -3/+16*Sigh*, I wish I could be on the front page 17 times in one day.
- mfc5200, on 11/14/2008, -9/+221) Is MrBabyMan a bot or an actual person?
2) Apparently, he has been leading this research project of HP for years... - Blade2000, on 11/14/2008, -1/+13At least 6 ways to guarentee Digg popularity for HP's online content:
1. Obama/Ron Paul is God, oh by the way, buy an HP.
2. Kevin Rose is God, oh by the way, buy an HP.
3. McCain/Bush sucks, oh by the way, buy an HP.
4. Secret desires of most college dorm girls, oh by the way, buy an HP.
5. Firefly Collectors Edition now on BluRay, oh by the way, buy an HP.
6. The Empire Strikes Back was the best of the Star Wars movies, oh by the way, buy an HP. - jonshipman, on 11/14/2008, -2/+12and/or hire Mr. BabyMan
- inactive, on 11/14/2008, -1/+9I like the (PDF Warning)
- urineboy, on 11/14/2008, -2/+10my own observations would suggest that egregious misspellings of common words in the titles tends to increase popularity.
- dan222555, on 11/14/2008, -2/+10Did they factor in the Huffington Post effect?
- sirber, on 11/14/2008, -0/+7That's what she said.
- etx313, on 11/14/2008, -0/+6Something to aspire to. If you're a nerd.
- antidense, on 11/14/2008, -1/+7The fact that this got frontpaged must mean they are on to something.
- GOVATENT, on 11/14/2008, -0/+6its not about being on the front page. Its about posting things others would care about or is important. (at least it used to be) Which is why i hate i can't get important things to the front page cause other people need to post ***** and feel happy.
- SteveMax, on 11/14/2008, -0/+6What did you expect, lolcats and pedobear? It's a paper explaining the mechanics of getting content to the front page, not an example of what gets here nowadays.
- josejimenez, on 11/14/2008, -1/+7Add: cats, homosexuals and Steve Jobs/Apple.
- PennFarmer, on 11/14/2008, -0/+5So it took them 6 months of watching Digg to come to the conclusion that most of its users are on during the day and a story that makes it popular early in the day is more likely to get diggs than one that is made popular late in the day?
- sint4x, on 11/14/2008, -0/+5*Spoiler Alert*
- cle2105, on 11/14/2008, -1/+6It would be ironic if the story was about how to avoid getting to the front page of Digg. Comment buried for incorrect use of word "irony"
- specialK16, on 11/14/2008, -1/+6Wasn't it?
At least when it comes to Storage, DEC products (bought by Compaq) were the basis of the current MSA line (until the 2000 series that is) - kthxbai85, on 11/14/2008, -0/+5They fail to tell you in clear English what time is supposed to be the best time to submit a Digg article...so how are the poor uneducated people, who did not take grad school numerical analysis classes, going to ever find out?
- CrushThemTorg, on 11/14/2008, -0/+5How, we ask, is Mr.Babbyman formed?
- groo68, on 11/14/2008, -0/+5no it just means mrbabyman submitted it.
- inactive, on 11/14/2008, -1/+5ITS A TRAP!!!!
PEDOBEAR!!!
PEW PEW PEW!!! - KirbyMeister, on 11/14/2008, -3/+7...or if it mentions Obama, Ron Paul, or how the republicans are evil.
- Kragnerac, on 11/14/2008, -0/+4...and Ubuntu.
- inactive, on 11/14/2008, -0/+4YOU CAN'T CODE WORTH POOP
- HereticKings, on 11/14/2008, -0/+4Make it an XKCD strip and you're golden, ponyboy.
- Ninnux, on 11/14/2008, -1/+5This article simply ascribes to what most Digg/YouTube readers already know... that you can game the system to your own benefit if you wish to get page views.
Formula: "Submit early."
Hyping your own content doesn't hurt either. - rrife, on 11/14/2008, -0/+4Just create a random list of junk and post it with the title "Top [insert number here] best [insert noun here] off all time!"
- megamod, on 11/14/2008, -0/+4you got it all wrong. BabyMan was testing their hypothesis. He had this document before everyone else.
- Paranoidmarvin, on 11/14/2008, -1/+4Some say his breath smells of magnesium, and that he can digg a story from up to 3 parsecs away.
We know him as Mr Babyman - DOCNM, on 11/14/2008, -5/+8oh, the irony!
- kthxbai85, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2What if I don't have the time, the money, or the inclination? Are you suggesting that people take grad school numerical analysis classes just to understand the graph in this article? Couldn't someone just put it down in normal English for me?
- jemmrich, on 11/14/2008, -1/+3I think its funny that diggers spend so much time and energy caring what the top submitters are doing and complain about them. Funny how the nature of people is to let others rise to the top only to try to shoot them down at any cost :/
I understand that they "may" use tools but come on, block them if you don't like them, just don't bring the topic up in 95% of stories submitted. - Kragnerac, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2A glitch in the Matrix? I knew it!
- MikeyMoose, on 01/30/2009, -0/+2Digg it down!
- Virgule, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2its not even a ***** PDF its an .scd *****
im confused - Zenham, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2Now if they could only figure out a formula to de-freep Digg...
- ericdano, on 11/14/2008, -1/+3Here is how to do it.
Anything Huffington Post or DailyKos will end up being popular, even though it is most likely totally false.
Anything XKCD........
Anything with Kevin Rose
Anything Comedy, though I use that term loosely. Sites like collegehumor, or funnyordie.
Top 10 lists
Boobs.
Did I miss anything? - aserer511, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2If they knew ANYTHING about popularity, they wouldn't include two metric *****-tonnes of bloatware
- JamesLee007, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2You forgot bacon. BACON!
