Silicon Valley Sleuth: Scoop: Digg is used for Sun stock manipulation
by dmv at 4:58 pm EST, Mar 17, 2006 |
Something extremely weird is going on over on Digg.com. Today for the third time in a short period, a story got promoted to the front page where a blogger raises a baseless rumour about Google buying Sun. And as is explained further down, it appears that this is the result of a coordinated effort to fool Digg into promoting the story. The blog author has no sources, zero credibility and most importantly his reasoning is completely erratic.
