Stumble it!

A blogger looked closer to 2 stories on Digg today and find out weird things about how they got their ways to the frontpage today. Both link to alistapart.com I couldn't post a direct link to the page because the URL included the forbidden word "digg" I tried submitting the link to Digg and my account was disabled. http://diggabused.googlepages.com/submitted.png was the article. You can't find it anymore there. And then: http://diggabused.googlepages.com/disabled.png

Now i'm wanting my account again :)
I contacted them and they said i abused my digg account my accusing a digg user of abusing digg.
I had to agree not to do it again so they enable my account.
They still didn't respond.

http://digg.com/technology/Digg_Corrupted is still alive but is "burried" : http://digg.com/search?search=digg&submit=Search&area=all&type=both&ag
e=60&search-buried=on
although right now it has 62 diggs.
Anything against digg or "its users" gets burried?

Forget digg. I saw this shit unfolding, and as of today, I'm switched to shoutwire.

I've brought friends.

Vive la shoutwire!

Kevin Rose responded in his blog to forevergeek : http://diggtheblog.blogspot.com/2006/04/digging-fraud.html

Well that doesn't justify how i was banned in 2 mins after posting the article about the website. Besides, the abuse@digg.com team didn't tell me "the link was being submitted too much" , they said "u accused Digg users, which is not allowed" ...

Here's an analysis of the digging of these people.

http://www.zippitydoodahonline.com/?p=10

Kevin Rose dugg more than 50% of these stories that made the front page, within the first 24 diggs. 50% of these stories with a digg at all, sure, I could believe, because he's the creator, but in the top 24 of this many? No way... I hate digg now, and it used to make me so happy =(

Fido Quick Take On The RNC
Being an open minded individual, I decided to spend a couple hours watching the Republican national convention in St Paul, or Minneapolis, Minnesota, or wherever it is. I had initially tuned in to watch Sarah Palin’s address, in order to maybe get a read on what she may be all about. I regret that I couldn’t get that far. After viewing Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and Rudy Giuliani speak to the delegates, I felt an overwhelming need to seek asylum in another country. ...

Bebichan Interview With Westboro Baptist Church!!!
This interview was compiled by myself and the great Nodnarb232001. Questions were selected from suggestions made by our great, dedicated, Shoutwire users, as well as a couple of our own suggestions!Nodnarb232001- Yep, and now we would like to ask Shirley Phelps-Roper old Freddy Phelps himself, and anyone from their congregation to come here defend their views from some of our users' unholy "persecution".
