not sure if i'm really saying anything here but i've not looked at digg since the DC GTD experiment started - i've not even thought about looking at it. it doesn't feel like i'm missing out on anything either.

Are there any concerns that User/Submitter will lower the credibility of Digg and its ranking system?
Absolutely. But that stems from the notion of Digg lowering the credibility of Digg. Fact is, because of Digg's overgenerous social nature, the active participants that mold the Digg network are suffering (whether they know it or not) from a) their lack of digging privacy and b) the weight of the network. We're not at all claiming that Digg is a social failure and users should give up hope, but we're placing the spotlight on some ridiculously wide holes in their social atmosphere -- holes that need closing. The 'loose social networking' trend is over. Digg needs to regress some of its social networking features.

While it's possible that we could determine nearly every front page story on digg, that's not our goal; we desire limitations. That said, the goal of User/Submitter is to exploit but control the fundamental flaws in Digg's social network so that it can sustain. Maybe then, they'll fix these flaws.
