So I awoke at 6am this morning to write a nice bit of content for a client and was confronted with a digg Strike. Quickly pinged a few people and saw that the digg community had finally had enough at the Ivory Tower marketing techiniques of the founders of digg.com<\/p>\n

Basically, people are pissed at the lack of communication with those who run digg and also over changes in the algorithm which mean some need over 200 voted to make it to the front page.<\/p>\n

Short version: digg is changing, adapting with the times. They are in an arms race with the spammers and I hope they win. Problem is, people like me who provide great content for digg get caught in the crossfire and sometimes struggle to get the good stuff to the top. Will it be easier for the good stuff to get to the front page? Can’t say, not yet, we have to see how this current dust up settles.
\n<\/p>\n

The drilldown<\/a> gang had an emergency, live podcast and were joined by a couple of surprise gate crashers, the head honchos at digg turned up to address issues. A two hour discussion followed, all good stuff, but some issues were not addressed.<\/p>\n

So, rather than go over what has already been said here is a list of all the stories covering the story.<\/p>\n
