If I ran Digg, I would open up the algorithm for all to see, then change it after a week-long scramble of late-night deciphering, claiming that the experiment failed and too many people started gaming.

Give, then take away. Total abuse of power. It would be fun.

I am also one of the others is still puzzled on how a few select people have cracked the Digg Code. But then some of those select people could also have shills or themselves be shills that push the limits to achieve a front page post. It is just an algorithm after all and as in any code it can be cracked. <em>Mark Laymon's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/alistseo/~3/209151139/' rel="nofollow">When to Post When You Have Little to Say</a></em> I agree that a few have the Digg algorithm down to a simple science.
