Stumble it!

A blogger looked closer to 2 stories on Digg today and find out weird things about how they got their ways to the frontpage today. Both link to alistapart.com I couldn't post a direct link to the page because the URL included the forbidden word "digg" I tried submitting the link to Digg and my account was disabled. http://diggabused.googlepages.com/submitted.png was the article. You can't find it anymore there. And then: http://diggabused.googlepages.com/disabled.png

Now i'm wanting my account again :)
I contacted them and they said i abused my digg account my accusing a digg user of abusing digg.
I had to agree not to do it again so they enable my account.
They still didn't respond.

http://digg.com/technology/Digg_Corrupted is still alive but is "burried" : http://digg.com/search?search=digg&submit=Search&area=all&type=both&ag
e=60&search-buried=on
although right now it has 62 diggs.
Anything against digg or "its users" gets burried?

Forget digg. I saw this shit unfolding, and as of today, I'm switched to shoutwire.

I've brought friends.

Vive la shoutwire!

Kevin Rose responded in his blog to forevergeek : http://diggtheblog.blogspot.com/2006/04/digging-fraud.html

Well that doesn't justify how i was banned in 2 mins after posting the article about the website. Besides, the abuse@digg.com team didn't tell me "the link was being submitted too much" , they said "u accused Digg users, which is not allowed" ...

Here's an analysis of the digging of these people.

http://www.zippitydoodahonline.com/?p=10

Kevin Rose dugg more than 50% of these stories that made the front page, within the first 24 diggs. 50% of these stories with a digg at all, sure, I could believe, because he's the creator, but in the top 24 of this many? No way... I hate digg now, and it used to make me so happy =(

For those of you who don’t, this is for you.Robot Unicorn Attack is a free online flash game from Adult Swim made out of rainbows, unicorns, and crack. This is a severe deviation from the other games the site offers (Pole Dance Hero, Radioactive Teddy Bear Zombies, and Zombie Hooker Nightmare to name a few) and yet it has nearly 10 million more plays than any other game listed.Its popularity...
