Visualizing Digg

Digg is interesting

http://digg.com/

It's people putting up stories or links to stories. Then voting on whether they are interesting. The stories that get more votes or "diggs" get to the top of the pile aka the front page.

People have been curious as to how that math works exactly.

The makers of Digg created these facinating flash interfaces on the math of calculating the Diggs.
