Digg Top Users Still Going Strong

Although Digg did everything they could to diminish the influence of so-called “top diggers” - users who submit a lot and reach the Digg front page a lot - this group is continuing to be a strong force, responsible for almost half of Digg’s front page stories. Muhammad at PronetAdvertising has done an analysis of the data.

When I say “this group”, I don’t mean a fixed group of people; some of the top diggers of old aren’t active any longer, while some new ones have emerged. But there always seems to be a group of users who commit to submitting new stories much more than the average Joe. Personally, I’ve never had a problem with this; quite the contrary, it seems that having a couple of good submitters works better than having a lot of users submitting one or two stories.

    I cannot see anything major problem if those “top users” submit useful stories
