You’re an idiot if you think digg doesn’t already know these facts before the friend issue.

Simple comparison operators on post between users (ran on backed up db calls) can easily find a ration between 2 users on favorite posts.

Granted, this will make it a little easier to see if user a. friended user b. and user b. ALWAYS adds user a’s stories to their digg… then it’s obvious.

but then again without all that extra stuff… if user b. just always diggs user a’s stuff isn’t that obvious too?

Digg is amazingly corrupt … for stories and scandal concerning how corrupt Digg is you can check out this page. It also offers a way or two to subvert the Digg system

Thanks guys.

Kelvin – agreed and point taken. It’s just that on this blog we are more focused on marketing via social networks.

I certainly see your point re: it marking people up as spammers. But I think for normal digg users it might have certain uses.

Not everyone who uses digg is there to submit stories to get to the front page… most are thou!
