There, we have something what I’ll call a “streamlined cumulative advantage“. This means that Digg, by the means of their algorithms (for an in-depth view into a life cycle of a Digg story click here) is actually helping stories with more votes to reach a broader audience, as if they’re trying to make them focus on what’s important. However, this multiplies the cumulative advantage effect, which in turns means that the stories we might be getting on Digg’s front page are largely random.

As an active submitter and Digg user who - if the top diggers list were still in place - would be in the top 1000 users, I know that this is simply not true. Sometimes a story will get only 5-6 votes in the first hour, but it will gradually grow to 20-30 in the first 10 or 15 hours, and this will be enough for a front page. Sometimes it will get 15 votes in the first half an hour and never get to front page. I can only point the author to my in-depth article on the life-cycle of a story on Digg, where the entire process is described to the best of my ability (I am in no way associated with Digg, and my data is based only on thorough observation) [...] […] This is completely and utterly wrong.
