- kingjafee, on 08/12/2008, -1/+42Quiet....
The Google Gods are watching.... - ljin, on 08/12/2008, -3/+28They need to be more like digg.
- jodimcmullen, on 08/13/2008, -6/+18Why don't they hack faux news... wouldn't it be a hoot if they substituted some real news.
- inactive, on 08/13/2008, -1/+13Google?!? I get all my news from The Onion
- mikephimikephi, on 08/13/2008, -0/+8Larry appeared in my toast this morning
- benologist, on 08/13/2008, -0/+7Gamed on a daily basis instead of infrequently?
- ssquared22, on 08/12/2008, -1/+8One time, we had a spoof news piece on music make the front page of Google and it popped up for weeks in Gmail when I read emails from that editor about the piece. Hilarious and GREAT traffic.
- inactive, on 08/13/2008, -0/+7I can't help but wonder if the news/spoof ratio is significant enough for anyone to be concerned or if, over time, Google News' algorithms will improve to weed out spoofs.
- brettg102, on 08/13/2008, -0/+7Google want's nothing to do with the digg algorithm...it is WAY more flawed than google news. It's good that there are no human participants...that way ***** like Huffpo and ThinkProgress only show up on the rare occasion they have something good to say.
- djcap, on 08/13/2008, -2/+8Dugg for Boston love.
- iptib, on 08/12/2008, -3/+8That is excellent!
- inactive, on 08/13/2008, -0/+5who here hasn't used digg labs for months?
cool tools... but personally, I never use them.... - ZachSka87, on 08/13/2008, -0/+5http://www.thechurchofgoogle.org/
- qwertycopter, on 08/13/2008, -2/+6Easy ass poof?
- bsonline, on 08/13/2008, -3/+6How do you submit to google news?
- inactive, on 08/12/2008, -1/+4yeah, digg voting system rules, also bigspy http://labs.digg.com/bigspy , it's great for monitoring new stuff
- foofoobee, on 08/13/2008, -2/+4It doesn't matter how you find an article (Google News, Digg, etc) - it's always up to the reader to understand the validity of the site they are getting their information from, and cross-reference important points. Digg regularly has Onion articles on the front page, and it's up to readers to know that it's a spoof.
- inactive, on 08/13/2008, -1/+3There are times they have something good to say?
- konstantine89, on 08/13/2008, -2/+4Google is about to take over the world. Let's all send in fake news stories so we can shake it up!
- Vonauda, on 08/13/2008, -0/+2All of this has happened before, and it will happen.......again.......again.......again.......again.
- inactive, on 08/13/2008, -0/+2You have!
- ieatpizza, on 08/13/2008, -0/+1?
- benchwarmer, on 08/13/2008, -0/+1no, guys, they're referring to the endless tidal wave of stupid blog lists and petty debates.
- marcz, on 08/13/2008, -0/+1George, you spend too much time on Digg. Go away.
- aptanalogy, on 08/13/2008, -0/+1It's the Uncertainty Principle, bitch!
- bsonline, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1Heh, Google News submits to everyone....
- Archer007, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1In Soviet Russia, Google News submits to YOU!
- OBKenobi, on 08/13/2008, -0/+1Stopping messing with Google news, I need that for my infoz.
- mnemy, on 08/13/2008, -0/+1Uhh, big deal? Do you want every news site to be exactly the same?
- WardOnTheWeb, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1Algorithms are dumb. Very, very dumb. Ask any SEO professional. Granted, they're getting smarter, and Google's are some of the best in the world, but it isn't hard to trick a computer that doesn't really understand what it's reading.
What might be useful is if Google opened up fraud reporting on news stories. Sort of like a mechanical turk, users could flag stories for human review. It would be open to abuse, of course, as any human-driven system always is, but it could help weed out the spoofs. - aserer511, on 08/13/2008, -0/+1an orgy of apple and obama lovers?
- Apocalyptic0n3, on 08/13/2008, -0/+1You don't. Just like how you don't submit to Google Search either. It's algorithm takes care of everything.
- sysop073, on 08/14/2008, -1/+2@fudged71 Biggspy seems kind of annoying, but I use Diggspy all the time
- dugg4obscurity, on 08/13/2008, -2/+2Dugg because it's a Wednesday!
- gagahput3ra, on 08/13/2008, -1/+1Wow, nice trick! =O will try it later.
Yeepekaye Google. - kidd3ckz, on 08/13/2008, -1/+1LOL Ass poof.
- HonestAbe, on 08/13/2008, -1/+1I don't understand why they think they've accomplished something special. Spoofs and satire are just as relevant as actual news. It's divided up by topic, not by "real news/fake news".
- sayssimon, on 08/13/2008, -1/+1hahah funny stuff funny stuff
- ieatpizza, on 08/13/2008, -3/+2what is goggle
- inactive, on 08/13/2008, -5/+1What's faux news?
- harmil, on 08/13/2008, -8/+4There's nothing shocking, here. Google News trades on Google's classically accurate results in order to increase timeliness. However, in this case, it accurately identified an article which was of interest. The problem was that it came from a publication whose articles should probably be globally downranked due to their misleading content.
- inactive, on 08/13/2008, -4/+1Oh wait, never mind, I get it. That's really clever.
- inactive, on 08/13/2008, -8/+2***** you, two of my friends died using digg labs
- Wujian01, on 08/13/2008, -8/+2all about the google...
I'll try it later... - mmijatov, on 08/12/2008, -8/+2Has anyone mentioned Bush yet?
- AmandaDigg, on 08/13/2008, -10/+3awesome!
- numb, on 08/13/2008, -8/+1Man what a cheap video rip-off of the Dropkick Murphys. They didn't even get the lyrics right.
- inactive, on 08/13/2008, -10/+3cool stuff
