Digg, Dug, Buried: How Linux news disappears (ComputerWorld)Digg, Dug, Buried: How Linux news disappears (ComputerWorld)Posted Jun 25, 2009 22:12 UTC (Thu) by alankila (subscriber, #47141)In reply to: Digg, Dug, Buried: How Linux news disappears (ComputerWorld) by roskegg Parent article: Digg, Dug, Buried: How Linux news disappears (ComputerWorld)
If you care enough about this, it should be provable. Here's how: just draft the rate that new stories appear. Look for anomalies such as spikes, and then examine if they correlate with appearance of pro-Linux stories, or whatever.
My prediction is that you will see nothing out of ordinary. I find it hard to believe in this conspiracy that you speak of, but a little bit of detective work in form of hard data could change my mind.

If you can find hard data, you might also be able to get the attention of the people running Digg. (If they care about this at all, as it doesn't seem to hurt their popularity).
Digg, Dug, Buried: How Linux news disappears (ComputerWorld) Posted Jun 29, 2009 18:06 UTC (Mon) by BrucePerens (subscriber, #2510) [Link] I can give you one data point. When I worked for Sourcelabs, we had messages to the staff email alias asking for diggs, when there was a story about the company. The emails were probably innocent in nature, but IMO companies should not do that. IMO they all do.It is a standard feature these days that PR agencies help you with social networking. It's probably the majority of their business for many of them. That means digg, wikipedia, slashdot, etc.
