		<description>So, how do these sites dominate the front page?? How are they able to repeatedly get enough votes?</description>

		<description>The joke behind that picture is that it is not the majority that controls Digg but a small (Intelligent) minority.</description>

		<description>I am by no means a &quot;Top Digger&quot; but I&#039;ve had several stories make it to the front page.  The worst part is, a short while later another blog would duplicate my (original) story and submit it again!  Or submit it to other sites like Reddit!  That really pissed me off.

So now whenever I submit everything, I cover my bases and submit them to &lt;b&gt;all&lt;/b&gt; the social news sites.</description>

		<description>I agree.  Digg itself is a good idea.  Let people decide what good content is.  Unfortunately it is never easy to solve a problem completely (as many people, both programmers and non are very aware of).

&#039;Tis life I suppose.  It wouldn&#039;t be as fun if there weren&#039;t controversy and difficulties, would it?</description>

		<description>Welcome Derek!

I&#039;ve been to your blog a few times myself.

On the subject of Digg... I&#039;ve been a digger for a long time and, even though my blog is on Digg&#039;s &#039;auto-bury&#039; list I still do visit digg. I don&#039;t submit or digg to the degree I used to but, I still check it out every few days.

Digg still has a lot of potential, I just wish they would wise up and figure out who is doing the real gaming of their system and why.</description>

		<description>I recently happened upon your blog, and I am definitely enjoying the posts.

I am a Digg member, and I do my share of reading and providing clicks to the websites that get onto the front page.  I neither have the time nor the energy to really be someone that will peruse the large number of submitted stories, but I suppose that I should.  I have also noticed that there is a strange phenomenon that occurs when someone can get onto the front page merely by reposting content from another source.  There is no way that should be happening.

Thanks for your thoughts and because of them, I think that I&#039;m going to be looking at the summary blurbs first.  From that, I will likely be searching for the story.  Even as I type that out, it seems like extra work which doesn&#039;t appeal to the American that I am.  So who knows how long that will last.  :P</description>

		<description>Really interesting Steve.  I think you make some valid arguments there.  Plus, I got a kick out of the picture you used.</description>
