The changes in the Digg algorithm over the last week have resulted in a lot of chatter among marketers, bloggers, and media. Giving credit where credit is certainly due, I do think that Digg ’s update definitely made it harder to push through non-organic popularity.

"In the era of short news cycles and instant consumption, it is taking almost a full day for yesterday’s news to make the front page."Uhuh... The fire in Las Vegas was long gone when it hit the front page. I thought I must have missed something. Same with the huge Internet outage.Digg: we’re you’re cached news :D

Yeah, Rudd, but the flipside is that a lot of news hits the Digg front page before it hits all of the major wires, and on top of that, some news never makes the front page.I think that the point of the article is that he algorithm shift is simply slowing the process when a piece of "news" that is worth of a Digg frontpage starts making the rounds.Just my two cents...

I agree, the top guys that can easily make front page will continue to do so, and the rest of us fall behind even more. Sucky.
