Digg.com success of posts
One of my favourite websites is Digg.com, which is a site where members click in their votes for stories that they find newsworthy or interesting, or worth a look.
Being perversely fascinated with statistics: I thought I would follow Digg for a month and see what kind of stories get the most attention (votes/diggs) based on stories submitted + keywords + actual content in the url/page/site (keywords (most common word) everywhere basically). These findings (obviously) has nothing to do with story importance, it’s more a general look in to averages and words mentioned in the actual stories etc.
No, I was never a great coder, so maybe I missed something somewhere? These findings are presented “as is” (I can’t guarantee the accuracy). Hoverer, seeing the end result — it looks good to me? In no particular order, except the last entry…
