There has been some chatter in the blogosphere today about how digg.com could be rigged by users using multiple accounts. Koolaidguy (google cache). This guy got multiple stories on the front page this way:
This is a snapshot of the front page. Notice how the stories that I’ve mass dugg dominates the front page:When Worlds Collide, Nice webdesign showcase Digg sauce, Review of the Web’s First News Channel, auto-lock your computer on start-up, REVIEW: ATI’s Newest Midrange Card (Radeon X1600 XT), Technology Enabled Leather Jacket, Using Math to Beat the Market, Want to go to the movies? Expect 20 minutes of advertising first., Huge collection of old propaganda.
My guess is that the digg community will be able to deal with this, but as digg is becoming more of a driving force day by day, this could definitely be used for personal gain and abuse…
