Digg is Off its Rocker

Time for a fun Friday post. Digg has really been coming out with some
strange stuff recently. Last week, you probably saw the David at the
Dentist video, but you might not have seen that the Digg community burst into song off of Bukowsky‘s, “IS THIS REAL LIFE?!!?!?!” comment:

download dvd films

And then we have the Digg count error from yesterday. A story had a
Digg comment count of almost 4.3 billion Diggs and did not frontpage:
4.2 billion diggs

Looks like the bug has been fixed, and the story now is holding at 138 diggs.

You’ve got to have a good sense of humor if you want to work and play in social media. Have a great weekend, everyone!

    I must confess…. I thought it was rather strange that everybody burst into song after I left the IS THIS REAL LIFE!!?!?! comment. But flattered nonetheless.

    The only thing missing from the Digg Community’s version of Queen, was the choreography.

    @Jeff: thanks for stopping in. Choreography would be nice, but still man.. you did the equivalent of a wave in Yankee Stadium. Nicely done. :)

    Except that arguably millions saw it instead of a few tens of thousands.

    I go to Digg every day, but I did not see this.
