Massive Censorship Of Digg Uncovered
One bury brigade in particular is a conservative group that has become so organized and influential that they are able to bury over 90% of the articles by certain users and websites submitted within 1-3 hours, regardless of subject material. Literally thousands of stories have already been artificially removed from Digg due to this group. When a story is buried, it is removed from the upcoming section (where it is usually at for ~24 hours) and cannot reach the front page, so by doing this, this one group is removing the ability of the community as a whole to judge the merits or interest of these stories on their own (in essence: censoring content). This group is known as the Digg “Patriots”. | source : blogs.alternet.org

postrank
"PostRank is a nifty tool that measures different ways that readers engage with online content. The ranking is based on how many times a particular post has been linked to, voted up on Digg, shared on Google Buzz, commented on, Twittered about, bookmarked on del.icio.us or viewed through feed readers like AideRSS and Google Reader. Today, the startup is adding a new feature that actually stores and shows you these activities. As PostRank says, the activity streams feature similar in theory to a FriendFeed, but for a blog or site’s content. Previously, PostRank aggregated and reported activity events but the new feature aggregates Tweets, votes, distributed comments and more in a single view. Publishers simply have to insert their RSS feed into PostRank Analytics and the startup will aggregate and filter activity into a dashboard. " | source : techcrunch.com

Utiliser Facebook comme source d'informations - LeMonde.fr
Le site propose donc une approche complémentaire des agrégateurs comme Netvibes ou Google reader, ces pages personnalisées où l'internaute peut sélectionner les sites dont il souhaite voir les derniers articles s'afficher. Dans Likebutton, le filtre n'est pas directement contrôlé par l'internaute, mais est indirectement géré par ses contacts sur Facebook. Un système de votes similaires à celui utilisé par des agrégateurs comme Digg ou Redditt, dans lesquels les internautes inscrits votent pour faire remonter les liens dans le palmarès de page d'accueil, selon le principe dit de "la sagesse des foules" – un grand nombre d'internautes a plus de chances de pointer vers des informations intéressantes. | source : www.lemonde.fr

Digg Education Series: Search | Digg About
Learn Your ABCs You can find a wealth of information by simply plugging in a keyword or two, but our advanced shortcuts really give the search engine some bite. Want to see only promoted stories (those that have hit the front page)? Just add +p to your search string. For example, all promoted stories related to President Obama can be found by typing “Obama +p” in the search field – that's without the quotation marks, of course. If you want to see what Obama-related stories were promoted before later being buried by the community, try “Obama +p +b”. A full list of the shortcuts can be found on the search page http://digg.com/search/. | source : about.digg.com

"After meeting record collector Jean Roger aka JR on a flea market, Eric P. invited him in the FM Brussel studio for a Laid Back session (October 2008)… Blown away by his stories and musical knowledge, we decided to meet him again to discuss about music, records, travels and life in general. More than a crate digger, JR is a man who follows his heart in order to achieve his dreams." | source : www.vimeo.com

The Latest News Headlines—Your Vote Counts | Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ)
PEJ took a snapshot of coverage from the week of June 24 to June 29, 2007, on three sites that offer user-driven news agendas: Digg, Del.icio.us and Reddit. In addition, the Project studied Yahoo News, an outlet that offers an editor-based news page and three different lists of user-ranked news: Most Recommended, Most Viewed, and Most Emailed. These sites were then compared with the news agenda found in the 48 mainstream news outlets contained in PEJ’s News Coverage Index. | source : www.journalism.org

Thoughts of Nigel: Print revenue worth more than 15 times that of online?
a print subscriber is worth more than 15 times the revenue an online reader is. Perhaps though not quite as bad- Not all online newspaper readers are made equal. The top, say 10 percent of readers, who visit the home page twice a day are worth exponentially more than the bottom 10 percent, junk traffic that bounces in off Digg or some blog and which sees a page or two and spends maybe 10 seconds on the site. I wish I could quantify how much the top 10 percent are worth, but I’ve never been able to find data on that. Still, remove the junk traffic, and the online revenue per reader would rise. | source : thoughtsofnigel.blogspot.com
