A note for this week - I had to read twice as many stories to get this list this week. Not sure what that means, or if it’s due to the recent related publicity.

This week Ron Paul gets the honor of being at the top of this list. I’m continuing to be impressed that stories can get that many diggs without the benefit of front page exposure. In a sense, they are the “best of the best” on digg - even more than the top ten.

After some messing around, I’ve automated my weekly “top digg unpromoted stories” seen below. Which means that I’ll be automatically generating these every Tuesday morning. This week again brings a big outlier, the “Website is Down” video that got lots of play everywhere on the web last week.

On the other side of things, this morning brings a leak of digg’s recommender. It looks very nice, but my first impression was “that’s some leak.”

Sad to see my former company included in that list. Right next to technorati, which Kevin Rose once called a “dead site.” I actually remember thinking right then, that we were screwed. Arrogance is usually the first sign.

Usually I’d do my top 10 not promoted stories on digg last week on Mondays, but today I noticed that the top not-promoted story has a crazy amount of diggs and comments, so I’m just going to link to that (933 diggs):

I’ve got to take it as a good omen that on the day I received a really nice job offer (I’ll be starting July 7) my old boss talks about my new boss.

I’ve received some complaints about my remarks on digg here.
