Since yesterday or the day before, there has been a lot of fuss about people getting paid to digg stories up and down on Digg.com. Examples: Digg probe hits a nerve, Digg can still be rigged, Wired buys votes on Digg, and of course the article that started it all: I bought votes on Digg.
I can see the problem with this; Fair and honest promotion of stories gets left behind and only those who are willing to pay, can get their stories to the front page of Digg.
Ok I got that but it also has the easiest solution! http://www.usersubmitter.com/users/feed/0beae52d0258935b19543e37b0d681eb = RSS feed with latest Paid to Digg Stories. Simple, all Digg has to do is sign up to the site, usersubmitter.com, and once you join you get all the paid-to-digg stories in a RSS feed (individual to each person). That way Digg will know which stories are being paid for without all the algorithms, checking which members actually follow the link to the site and the same members digg the same stories.
It’s that simple! The whole problem is sorted this way. Quick and easy, oh and should work for any other paid-to-digg sites that crop up.
By the way, occasionally when there are no stories, the feed says “
Enjoy,
Alan.
