      The Defiant Salmon: An Explosive Conversation With Digg.Com's Jay Adelson

      Posted by Jeff

      We know there are limitations, and we also know how to address them, through greater transparency and additional tools to empower the people to moderate the site. Also, two years of research went into our promotional algorithms, so you can't just point to a clone's failure to work properly and say, "See? Digg's concept doesn't work!" when they simply work by raw numbers of votes, without the benefit of our research and intellectual property.

    I Bought Votes on Digg

    From TechCrunch Digg Should Sue Wired:

    Digg can't treat Wired like any other user that's engaged in fraud. Wired is the press, and the press has tremendous power. Wired is putting Digg in an impossible situation, and they should be called on it. Reporting news is one thing (although they should note the conflict of interest there as well), but actively creating negative news about a competitor and then using the massive reach of Wired to promote that 'news' is way over the line.
