What do you mean by success? My system works and it is hardly trackable by digg, only problem is that I don’t have enought advertisers. So it is not successful from commercial point of view but it is making digg votes a commodity you can trade – this part prefectly works. I could make a hitbot for digg this way I can get hundreds of votes for any link I submit but this was not what I wanted.
P.S. 3000 is probably some kind of joke.

@BigKitty: First of all it is absurd to think you were a threat to the top users. You and your group of friends (talk about gaming the system) are far far below them

Digg Killed Free Speech,
Are they really being deleted or are they leaving of their own accord? I’d love to see some concrete information like who and why.

Aside from that I agree with the views you state and quote your comment in my latest article. Thank you for sharing that.

Mindspeakr,
I agree. Even the best services have really dodgy search functions, until they partner with Google. One thing I discovered is that Digg loads slow as hell the more friends you have. If you ever suffer from slow loading and just want the stories, log out and cruise the site. I have no idea how they’ll get social search to work when “social” is so problematic as it is. They’ll have lots of “food” that’s for sure.

BaronVC – all of the sites mentioned have one very important thing in common and that is they have established a critical mass of users which buys alot of time for improving. But – none of the sites mentioned have decent search – just basic search that works well – not to mention social search. Rose implied in his blog post that these types of features are what they will be rolling out in the coming months and it will be interesting to see if they can get it right. If they build it on top of a traditional search engine (which is what the majority of social sites do) then there will still be significant limits in their ability to provide true network search. Without access to the underlying algorithms, there are a number of limits to how you can show related people and content much less allow users to search across their own trust networks on their own terms. Food for thought…
