Digg just announced via their blog that the top diggers list will be removed. According to them people have been misusing their list to claim that those top diggers have been getting paid to digg stories.
The latest scandal came from a website called Payola asking top digg users to digg their stories for $500. This is what led Kevin Rose to remove the list according to him:
So what does this all mean? After considerable internal debate and discussion with many of those who make up the Top Digger list, we’ve decided to remove the list beginning tomorrow.
This new development is aimed at stopping people from trying to influence diggs from top diggers.
Thank You
