It was the coincidence that I found one news on digg yesterday, which was about one full page ad in NY Times, which got around 337 diggs within 24 hours but did not reached to the first page, the same type of things happened with my news too. Last day I blogged about this on my site at this place: https://www.inewsindia.com/2009/01/22/337-diggs-and-97-comments-but-still-missing-the-fp-of-digg/ and when I submitted this news on digg then it too got around 200 diggs after the 10 hours of submission. Till that time it was at the top of the hot news, but then suddenly it went off.

It was once again the art of a few people who are popularly known as the Bury Brigade in dig. There are a group of few people who do these types of work regularly and in my honest opinion they are harming the image of the world’s number one social bookmarking site dig.

When I last checked the status of my news at digg, it got 240 diggs that too in between 18 hours after the submission. Also it got around 63 comments, but it was not there either at the first page or at the hot section.

Many people complain about the manipulation of the results in digg, which in my views is not correct. It is the people who decide the fate of any story. If they will bury any story then there will be no chance for that story. Actually many people try to manipulate the digg algorithm, but the digg algorithm is not at all clear to any one. I think the owners of the digg should take a bit of care about these type of brigades.
