Digg changes voting… again

January 24th, 2008 |


According to Techcrunch, Digg’s founder just announced new changes to the rating algorithm - namely, it becomes very difficult to promote a story to the homepage with the help of your friends: a diverse, unique group of diggers is needed for this.
So… this means the end of the “Digg circles”(where u ask your friends for their votes), the end of Digg as social network (an attempt tried out by Digg in 2007 - where u could “shout” a story to your Digg friends, asking for votes) and makes it desirable to not have Digg friends at all. I still have no idea how u’d be able to get a story promoted to the front page - perhaps by asking your blog readers to vote for it, but this would only work if u have a large(diverse) number of devoted readers. Other than that… I haven’t got a clue.

Pe vremea asta…

    > I still have no idea how u’d be able to get a story promoted to the front page

    Maybe just submitting interesting articles should do it :D At least this is how it (mostly) works on reddit.

    trust me, just submitting interesting articles is not enough… - the copywriting involved plays a big part, so does the “critical mass” of initial votes

    reddit has a different design and user base, eager to increase their karma points by promoting other new stories as well.
    However, the Digg system implies that: either the story u submit is on a popular blog(so that other users get to submit/vote it), or - you have some way to tell the world u submitted a cool story - this was mainly accomplished via the digg friends system. Otherwise, your only chance is that random visitors vote your story on the upcoming page - pretty rare.

    […] si-au tras cate un blog ca sa castige sume incomensurabile. Mai greu acum. Alex Brie zice ca numai bazat pe noroc mai poti promova ceva, altfel nu […]
