Blogging Digg
"Have you ever noticed that some blogs seem to rise to the top of Digg over and over again?
You might think that they’ve discovered some magic formula for getting attention, built a “Digg culture” on their blog, or they just get all of their friends to Digg their posts.
And they might.
The most successful blogs don’t try to manipulate readers into voting for their posts. They just give them what they want.
It’s all about focusing on your audience. If you want to be on the front page of Digg, write about topics that Diggers love, such as Ron Paul, Apple, or blogging."

I am troubled by the thought that I must somehow tailor my submitted content either in description or by shaping the content itself to appeal to the sensiblities of the 10% of Digg users who are driving the machine. This is one I do not know how to reconcile. It makes me wonder how in flux these Digg worthy properties are and are we wasting time by submitting content that is not what Digg users want to Digg? Is the system becoming a closed loop? Does content have a shelf life on Digg.com? Many questions regarding this one.
