Most users prefer to take Digg at face value and just enjoy the daily stream of news and cool links it provides. Others, like me, want to find out the inner workings of this seemingly arbitrary but in fact quite complex system. Back in the early days, the only way to find out how Digg works was to observe. Luckily, today Digg ?analysts? have a large number of tools at their disposal; not flashy games or fun visuals, but actual tools that use Digg?s API to extract meaningful information, extrapolate statistical data out of it and present all of it in a useful way. Without further ado, here are 5 tools that everyone who wants to find out the nuts and bolts of Digg should have bookmarked. Saved By: Ryan Price | View Details | Give Thanks

It is time for Digg Founder Kevin Rose to man-up once again. It is time to make Digg fully transparent. It is time to remove the barrier that hides the bury data from the users. Mr. Rose, tear down this wall.

How often have you seen your stories rising on Digg only to watch them fall off in a matter of seconds. Most of us attribute this to the "burry brigade," however that is not always the case. New evidence is showing that Digg administrators are pulling pieces of content manually and shifting the blame elsewhere.

A Web user and his information are like a grizzly and her cub. Come between them, and you're likely to get mauled. That's what a group of heavyweight tech and entertainment companies learned last week when they tried to keep the lid on the code that could help break the electronic locks on HD-DVDs. On May 1, someone posted the code, which allows

People can only censor you if you are restricted by the draconian and parochial laws of editorial control that mainstream media outlets have to abide by. With social media, editorial control is given back to the people, no one person or team of people can make a decision to censor someone. And that is exactly what has happened in the case of Mike G

What happened on Digg yesterday did not have to happen. It was the wisdom of the crowd spiraling downward into a perfect storm of mob rule. The two main factors that contributed to the strength of said storm are the Digg community's disdain for DRM and the general unawareness of the fact that Digg has moderators.

There's been a lot of discussion about the value of Digg traffic (Problogger, Neil Patel, etc). This analysis aims to use the data culled from the Chitika logs over a 31 day period to put an actual number to this theory. Since pretty much everyone receives Google traffic, this analysis uses Google as a base to compare against.

"Just a few hours ago I was writing that there was a reason why Digg had censored an article pointing out the HD-DVD Processing Key. While Digg is right to do so, and Jay Adelson has explained the reasons on the Digg blog, this hasn't stopped the Digg community from a full-fledged revolt."

In a step that is somewhat similar to Digg's removal of the top users list, Netscape recently announced that it will stop counting, displaying in user profiles, and taking into account when assessing user rankings, the statistic of 'number of stories submitted by a user and later promoted to the homepage'. Here's why...

After plyaing with Feedblendr for hours on end, this is what I came up with: I call it RSSpectMeme. It's a feed-mash of user determined & algorithmically determined content from some of the hottest links & stories on the web. Each link takes you directly to the source story, bypassing the site (or jump) it's fed from. Credit and Sourcing is

MySpace is launching a news aggregator called MySpace News in the second quarter of 2007. It'll rely on both algorithms and user rating - basically a combination of Google News and Digg.

The recent news of sites being unbanned from Digg may have been a red herring thrown at us to divert our attention from the full impact of a new Digg feature. I am talking about Digg's new "auto bury" feature.

Many alternative media sites are chiming in on the recent Wired feature on Digg, even going so far as echoing the content in posts such as Is Digg Rigged? or even taking the content wholesale such as Hunting Down Digg's Bury Brigade.
