1. I didn't get asked for a reason, so I just left a comment saying it was inaccurate. n/t

2. This is crap. For one thing, Obama did not list his race on the admission form to Harvard Law.

Also, this al Mansour business sounds so made up I can't believe it was published anywhere.

What is this publication anyway?

And why are you posting it?

5. Did you read my headline?Let me make it more clear to you...

***Please Bury This Piece Of Trash***

Do you know how to bury an article on Digg?

There is an option on Digg where you can click on "Bury".When you do that it means that you reverse 1 Digg point and makes the article less important.

10. Actually, I checked your title and no, I didn't know the reference to "bury."

But honestly, who is this Digg? And why is what he says important? I grant you that it's good to "bury" it as you say, but I haven't heard ANY of this crap before and I just wonder where in hell it comes from? It's like such a far out piece of nonsense I can't believe it...

12. Here`s some more info...

Digg is a website made for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the Internet, by submitting links and stories, and voting and commenting on submitted links and stories. Voting stories up and down is the site's cornerstone function, respectively called digging and burying. Many stories get submitted every day, but only the most dugg stories appear on the front page.

Digg's popularity has prompted the creation of other social networking sites with a story submission and voting system.<1>

-------

Digg has grown large enough that submissions sometimes create a sudden increase of traffic to the "dugg" website. This is referred to by some Digg users as the "Digg effect" and by some others as the site being "dugg to death". However, in many cases stories are linked simultaneously on several popular bookmarking sites. In such cases, the impact of the "digg effect" is difficult to isolate and assess. Wordpress is especially known for its tendency to crash under the increased traffic.<4>

On August 27, 2007, Digg altered its main interface, mostly in the profile area. The domain digg.com attracted at least 236 million visitors annually by 2008 according to a Compete.com survey.

The answer to your question: The more "Diggs" an article gets the more attention it gets and vice versa...Doesn`t mean that it always have to be like that but I think "burying" articles that are full of lies about Obama could hopefully discourage others to post these "crap" articles.
