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!
