A flaw in Digg Recommendation Engine?

November 23rd, 2008

I use Digg.com everyday.  I have it open in one of my tabs along with Gmail and a few other sites.  I keep refreshing every so often to see the new great stories dugg up by the digg community.  Digg has become a tool for me as Google has.

Recently I watched a post by Kevin Rose on his vimeo’s profile; “Anton Talks About The Digg Recommendation Engine”.

This sounds like a great core function to Digg.com!  After watching this interview with Digg’s lead scientist I couldn’t stop thinking about what Anton was talking about.  I decided to test out the recommendation engine to see how it would react to two digg users digging the exact same stories.  I have made a 3 minute video showing the diggs I made and the recommendations I got.  After the video I continued to make more Diggs to see if more Diggs would influence my recommendations in the way I was hoping for.

Click on the image below if you wish to see the video.

I’m aware that this was not a very scientific approach and I’ve probably overlooked a number of things that I hope you will be able to enlighten me on.

Digg on!
