Number one, vindictive groups like the Digg mafia have to go. Google will take care of that little band of bitches. Next, everyone has to be on an even keel, no power users that run the show while the rest of us fight over a few Diggs. Sorry MrBabyMan. I know you have been responsible for Digg's success but when you can influence search results and I see Google taking more and more notice of Digg votes, it's over for the Digg top 100. Finally many Diggers are doing things that I see as negative indicators to Google and IF Google buys Digg, they already know what these things are and have written it into their algo. In some of my tests I have risen in Google when I stopped chasing Diggs and did things the right way. I really do hope that Digg becomes part of Google. I would love to see them fix Digg, kick out vindictive bury button clickers and allow Digg to become what it was destined to be: a search engine. If you do not think that the Digg mafia and their like exist, read this post, just ran across it today. http://www.shoemoney.com/2008/06/11/why-i-won’t-f’in-digg-or-stumble-that-page-for-you/ That is what is wrong with social bookmarking, people like that.
