She Bought Votes on Digg

In a bid to prove that Digg could be gamed, Annalee Newitz of Wired News created a “pointless” blog with absolutely no useful data and pictures and submitted it to digg. She then bought diggs on User/Submitter and managed to get the story on the homepage before it got buried.
