Digg Newbies Empowered
Jan 29th, 2008 | By Shamim | Category: Internet
Digg announced a change in their algorithm which gives more authority to the lone Digg noob. Group digging a story to the front page of the popular site is seen as a plague in the community. To battle this Kevin Rose, the founder of Digg, announced in a blog post of the new algorithm change. Behind the scenes Digg uses a variety of non-disclosed methods to distinguish between Digg-worthy articles from others. But when a group of people start digging each others submissions this may cause a low quality story reaching the frontpage of Digg. To bypass this method Digg’s new algorithm will punish stories that are dugg by people of the same group or have very similar backgrounds. Instead it will now use diversity as a key factor in deciding which story jumps from the Upcoming Story section to the front page. As Kevin puts is … When the algorithm gets the diversity it needs, it will promote a story from the Upcoming section to the home page. This way, the system knows a large variety of people will be into the story.
