		    <description><![CDATA[<p>So, let me figure this out: Digg changed its algorithm because a group of users has been gaming the system with the old algorithm.</p>
<p>That group is now miffed because their stuff doesn't get on the first page automatically.</p>
<p>So, they wrote a letter threatening to leave Digg, unless they can go back to gaming the system.</p>
<p>Yep, that's the spirit of community. An Animal Farm community, but still a community.</p> <p><a href="http://pop-pr.blogspot.com">Jeremy</a></p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>You guys have to understand that the top diggers have put in a lot of work in making Digg the powerhouse that it is. And for Digg to do what they just did is a slap on the face for those who helped Digg to the top.</p>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>I like the new changes. Getting the algorithm to be resistant to group digging will make things more fair. These people are complaining about checks and balances, the system needs to stay healthy. Some of these things sound undemocratic, but democracies need checks and balances, especially for the most powerful in a given society. Just my two cents.</p> <p><a href="http://Http://gizmodo.com">Brian Lam</a></p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>Either you believe in the power of the Algorithm or you don't. If you believe, then it doesn't matter if you are a top digger. The almighty Algorithm rules all and is just as effective no matter who submits stories. That is why it is almighty. If you choose to question the Algorithm, you have lost faith. Without faith, what is digg to you? The Algorithm will continue to attract new disciples who do have the faith. Those who have lost faith are welcome to start their own Algorithm. All you need is a little science, some celebrities and a new mythology.</p> <p>GinaMuchava</p>]]></description>
