I recently read an article on CNet about Rigging Digg.
The article was an interesting read but contained many inaccuracies. I was going to blog about it in detail today but this morning I read these three posts that already explain what is wrong with the article and mirror my sentiments

CNet’s story about Digg needs a reality check

On a related note I was recently accused of being a Digg spammer.

I am a Digg Spammer, at least according to Digg users HaltingPoint, dnight, and hobbsy, who left the following comments on the Digg Story of my last post about the $100 dollar business.
The story was buried soon after it made it to the home page, which is too bad because in my opinion it was pretty interesting. In my own defense I would like to say that I didn’t even submit either of the two stories that I have had make it to the homepage, and in neither case did I have the intention of profiting from the Digg exposure. I did have adsense on each post at one time or another but removed it as soon as I saw the stories had been dugg, for the very reason of not appearing like a spammer.
