Have a look at these profile stats: Either 2-4 dugg and that too from the same domain and thing to be notice here is that most of the profile are old with just 4-5 dugg. This is quite strange that all people just logged in to digg only one article.

Is it some script trick? or just a co incidence but from my experience this is not a coincidence.

Though it may be because of a powerful tweet but the concern is if this become a trend it will be bad for the digg community and I appreciate that its taking much more time to make a FP because it’s strange to see any article with 450 duggs and not a Front page.

We should appreciate digg algorithm for this but if thing keep going like this it will become an issue lately.
