If someone finds a yahoo pipes mashup of the top 100 diggers I'd like to see how it'd be different too. Eric — some good thoughts.

I get to choose what I think was the most interesting point to me -- and that wasn't that Digg isn't transparent (which has been, and will likely always be the case) -- but the kind of steps top Diggers were alleging thing might take if things weren't rectified.

Unfortuantly, I think it fails to see the main point of what happened the other night. Not your fault - if anything it would be the fault of the "top diggers" who organized this - because we didn't get our point across. We weren't fighting to ensure that the algorithms would continue to be fair to us. The fight was about issues of transparency which Digg lacks. Tony

I think an interesting addition would be to offer filters to see *just* the top submissions as submitted by The Digg 100. This would be a huge reward for the top users, and would allow people to see the site in current form, with the top 100, and maybe you even offer a filter to see Digg *minus* the top 100 as well.
