diggforlife: AOL busted for "spamming" Digg?
An interesting article about blog spamming. AOL is being publicly called out by Web Diggers for "spamming" their beloved site. Many of Digg's regulars think Weblogs Inc., which is part of AOL, posts its own stories on Digg and then tells its staffers to "Digg" them, thus inflating their popularity. The skeptics point out that there's no way to be 100 percent certain about this, but they say it looks to be the case.
This article points to patterns seen over and over again. If these people are just friends, why are 90 percent of submissions from the same network? The story provides a screen shot showing the users' "Digg" picks, and they all seem to have "dugg" the same stories--and they come from the same company.
