It will be interesting to see if this does anything to digg. Maybe they will respond with new features.

I read or saw something from the founders of Digg that they want to make Digg more intelligent by suggesting articles. It sounds a bit like stumble upon.

I wonder if we can get them to release the code for the lisp version too. I would be very interested in looking at that.

This certainly good idea. Now I can see how Reddit was done, and learn something from it and maybe even contribute to it. ;-)
