For a bit more context behind what we've done here, we also have a blog post at <a href="http://about.digg.com/blog/sifting-for-diamonds-with-the-digg-newswire" rel="nofollow">http://about.digg.com/blog/sifting-for-diamonds-with-the-dig...</a> .<p>I know a few of us read HN as well, and would be glad to answer any questions on the Newswire product or implementation (in brief: Redis).
Looked at the link, and what do you know "Top N things something" is on the third spot of apparently notable news feed. I appreciate digg's efforts to stay relevant, but I'm sorry, this is not a <i>news</i>wire.
Give me something that opens my eyes.<p>All I see at the site is: "beautiful goat", "measuring beard", "10 year old hot model". That's a crap as one can get!.
