You do realize that that's not how Digg works, right? Stories get dugg
and once they reach a certain threshold, they hit the frontpage. This
is the only step that matters, because it'll then hit people's RSS
readers - and hit the people who simply refresh the homepage all day.
After that, it doesn't matter what you do - at all. A couple facts:
- Once a story is off the frontpage, no one reads it anymore.
- Giving a story more votes won't keep it on the frontpage for longer
(reddit does this, not digg)
- Being on the frontpage of the programming section has no consequence
one way or another.
Just FYI.
