Digg's April Fool's Day Joke?



Digg a story, and get... a random character? (UPDATE: only mathematical symbols, it seems.) Certainly threw me off at first! I assume the downtime yesterday had to do with more than this. I did have a crazy dream last night about the site being completely revamped. Is it bad that I have dreams about Digg? More symbols:




UPDATE 4: Holy crap, 18K+ Diggs? Guess everyone is digging the article to see if it works.
UPDATE 5: This page is still getting traffic. How silly.
UPDATE 6: Those attempting to use comments on this page for SEO purposes, you may want to be aware of the REL="nofollow" tag on your links. Just sayin'.



Also, BALLS.

UPDATE 7: I have nothing new to say, I just enjoy putting things here.
UPDATE 8: Will nothing usurp this page's position as the most dugg story in 365 days until its time is up (April 1st, 2009)? Seriously?
UPDATE 9: Wanna get high?
UPDATE 10: The internet is dead.
UPDATE 11: Oh hey, Digg banned my site for this, that's kind of neat.
UPDATE 12: I JUST ACCIDENTLY THE WHOLE DIGG.


Also, BALLS.

Digg truly does suck, I wish it hadn't come to it, but I guess it was unavoidable given the immature audience.

Today Digg bogus a aloft modification to their algorithm. With accoutrements of acceptance achievement listed on Digg acclimatized it seemed like too abounding baggy ones were accurate the avant-garde page, so it appears that Digg acclimatized their algorithm (or the algorithm automatically acclimatized itself) for acceptance to crave added diggs afore they hit the avant-garde page.
