- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -4/+70make a story called riaa amazing nano want mario his who ever vista page people they digg made4 my awesome $100
Will be the MOST dugg sory of ALL time - meanfish, on 10/12/2007, -2/+49Stories with "Ubuntu" averaged 666.
Am I the only one who thinks it ironic that a word that means "Humanity to Others" is met with an average of "666?" - Diseage, on 10/12/2007, -7/+42Haha , the best is "--" getting an average of 921 diggs.

(Maybe my comment will get over a thousand diggs now?) - Sanchez, on 10/12/2007, -3/+34Interesting article, I'm surprised how far down apple came.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31How To: Kevin Rose Reveals Amazing RIAA Apple Nano Digg for $100! (VIDEO)
Is definately the best. - daroots, on 10/12/2007, -5/+33for test ,Check out
http://digg.com/links/Nano-mario_wants_his_amazing_RIAA_photos_ - ameotoko, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28I imagine a lot of stories regarding Apple are submitted, most of which are dupes or simply uninteresting. That'd bring down the average. Same goes for Google..
- thirdplanet, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20do periods count as question marks.
- shiftt, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21and now we can cheat the system :)
from now on, expect a slew of irrelevant topics with catchy titles - goatbag, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15"Apple" would have been #2 with 1302 if they didn't divide it into "Apple" (647) and "Apple's" (655).
- LegendarySock, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16Amazing photos of RIAA watching my nano
- sithmat, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17I'm just surprised "Enjoy!" is not number one.
- dudinatrix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I wonder how many THIS submission will get, considering it uses 3 top keywords.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8ITS kind of amazing that the word "FREE" isnt in the top 10
i mean everybody loves free stuff - MrDan, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12No Porn ?!
- Spazkake, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7ajax 788
web 622
2.0 728
shouldn't all these have the same numbers ;) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+12But stupid apple fanboys will digg apple stories no matter where they see the word "Apple".
- johndi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Funny, but when you see common words like his, want, who, ever, page, people, they, made, my, and our dominating the top 20 you have to wonder how much thought went into it. I concede there may be something to RIAA, Mario, and nano.
- Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5It's actually kinda sad. Now that this story is out, I'm sure the queue will be flooded with spam stories using these keywords to get diggs
- Shutter, on 10/12/2007, -6/+11And thus true spam was born: A slew of meaningless keywords in a subject line. I don't understand how anyone would even open e-mails that contain a bunch of random, obviously spam words. A little off-topic, but bah.
- dmason, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Wow! "Max" has 1,320.
- shiftt, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9I knew it!
I had a feeling that penguin was hiding something... - duality, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4A very interesting headline. These instances where people talk about Digg or otherwise do something involving Digg, and then submit a headline for it to Digg, typically get lots of diggs. Maybe it's because the word "digg" is worth an average of 950 diggs itself, but still.
I propose that we call this sort of thing.......................
meta-digging! - eclectro, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I wonder how "whore" would do.
- skunkman62, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7You would have to add "Apple" in front of it.
- meekar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5"Amazing! RIAA designed iPod nano w/ Mario flashing his awesome $100 -- Vista compatible"
- scott1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5It would digged to death The sites server would explod and IT guys would comit suicide the ecconmy would collapse a milltary coup overthorws bush lead by cheny and his favorit game. Then the evil dictatorship would commint a mass genocide and will kill billons.Then the dictatorship would be overthowrn by a gourp of fromer RIAA agents known as RIAA and estlabish an world wide evil empire and in the process they start a nuclear holocost so it would elimate the rest of the human race.
So bacsically it would mean the end oif the world. - TheSleeplessOne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Looks like that experiment is going to get 500 diggs even tho it's been buried!
- slainte1971, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3front page, 500+ diggs... irony
- Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This article really shows how many people don't even read the article contained in the story, they just look at the headline (the nano-mario wants his RIAA pictures back is a great example)
- Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Is anyone else not surprised that "RIAA" is the top Dugg term?
- pixelwerx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Can't...stop myself...too many buzzwords...must Digg...aarrghhhh
- fluffyturtle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3""Apple" would have been #2 with 1302 if they didn't divide it into "Apple" (647) and "Apple's" (655)"
Good catch, after adding up all the other apple related stuff it easily the first on the list.
It works too, every article with "apple" in it gets dugg regardless of how fsucking stupid it is. Just proves how diluted our news is with apple crap. - mkoko, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3umm... it is totally ironic. I don't know if you were paying attention in high school english, but situational irony is when there is a situation that you wouldn't normally expect. Like a race car driving dieing in a car crash on his way to the race, for example.
So yes, that would be ironic. - craigtheguru, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Correctly reported as inaccurate and dropped from Digg's homepage.
Now if it actually linked to a page about nano Mario that included said RIAA photos it would be duly dugg! - hashkaran, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2lot of of the digg posts are starting with "Amazing" now :)
- scott1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Agreed lets start
+metadigg
digg needs a metadigg catagory. - StealthTomato, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Rails is a web framework.
It's most commonly associated with Ruby, as in "Ruby on Rails." - Lindquist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2funny how this article has over 500 diggs... It must be the title.
- BloodJunkie, on 10/12/2007, -7/+9that's so metal. i love it.
- nofelix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3One thing to note: words like amazing often accompany articles which are amazing, thus they get diggs. Saying the word itself is attention grabbing is misleading. To truly test this theory people should submit duplicate stories with different wording, like:
'Amazing sunset photographs' and 'Sunset photographs'. - M2Ys4U, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2and they'd both get reported as dupes.
- kubedawg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3makes sense, becuase when I goto a news story, I wanna see photos.
- theholotrope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2great, now every title on digg is gonna have the word amazing all over it...
- Cerebral, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Ahhh this is the reason we can choose to block content by a specific user.
- Burgerman851, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2dugg for 'Amazing' in headline.
- masterfuol, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Shameless crosspost:
Generate your own guaranteed front-page digg titles by grabbing blocks of *sequential* words:
"digg made my awesome $100 our billion!"
"watch super geek shows"
"huge last wikipedia story!"
"school revealed paper"
"3d comparison inside of user"
"battery phone released 4 hacker engine!"
Endless fun for the whole family!
(counting down to the "digg title generator" submission) - shinynew, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2ugh i hate things with the title "Amazing..."
- chiapet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2wear all sheep baaa
- doowttam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Its statistical analysis, they explained why they kept those words in the running, even though its obvious that the only reason they're up there is because they're commonly used words. It keeps the research "clean."
