Reviews of this website
lyndoman discovered 7 months ago- From the page: "But it doesnâ€t just stop there. Companies like user/submitter and Subvert and Profit pay Internet users to vote up their stories. Some bloggers claim to be the victims of â€oeDigg blackmail,” whereby they are faced with threats that others will report them as abusive spammers (costing them their hard-won popularity) unless they pay up. And users with strong reputations are in constant demand, because their votes count for more â€" so, of course, people have offered to pay the influencers directly. Digg removed its top-ranked poster list in early 2007, but the Wall Street Journal was still able to pinpoint top submitters."

- From the page: "What this suggests is that social news sites will reach a natural equilibrium. There will be the Diggs of the world, which cover a wide range of topics that will offer somewhat more dubious results to those users unwilling to reveal things about themselves. And there will be specialized, mid-sized sites that provide more relevant recommendations on a particular topic in return for more disclosure from their users."
