The wise Digg revolt
So, you guessed it. I loosed my first round with digg. But, actually, I won in a certain point of view. I asked my friends to not digg but share the story. Most of them dug it without even reading my shout which was saying clearly: “DO NOT Digg! You’ll help me by not digging it!”. Some of them understood my query, but the most part didn’t.
The story was in the hotlist, everything was fine and in a matter of seconds, it disappeared! It wasn’t a question of the number of diggs, because the story got more diggs than the others in the hotlist. Not a timeout either, because it disappeared within some minutes. That’s why I thought that digg doesn’t know what’s fair play.
I was wrong. This algorithm has some magic in it —at least in its latest version.
Now, with all the fuss around this, I’m getting tired, that’s not interesting me anymore. People claiming themselves as diggers representative, others that cry that good ol’ time of being always on the front-page, some others that thank Kevin for coming and answering questions. That Kevin they feed by using his website. This is so childish! I’m not playing anymore. If the game is about who is submitting the information faster, who is surrounded by tons of “digg mines i digg yours” friends, if it’s about wasting so much valuable time in calculating the number of diggs and many many other silly things that only bored people do, if it’s about all this, then I won’t play anymore.
From now on, I’ll digg content submitted by its authors, and nothing else real and worth a digg submission, not those all people know about. Show me your naked brain, not your fast fingers!
P.S. Please, bear with me on my poor English, if you notice any error please report it to me and I’ll correct it and btw improve my English which is my 4th langage
