What's interesting is what happened after Digg's algo change in January. That algo change was supposed to increase diversity of users making the front page. It had the exact opposite effect.
- froo 18y agoHow can it be "old news" when the Recommendation Engine only recently got released?
- pierrefar 18y agoBecause the data has been available for ages. The Recommendation Engine has little to do with going popular - yet. In the future when we have thousands of new stories published after the Recommendation Engine being available for everyone, the same analysis would be very interesting to do again then. It boils down to whether you have enough data or not.
