I just got a call from bank of america saying they are reducing my credit line…i went from having $5K available to just over $200 on 2 accounts. they’ve reduced my spending ability by nearly $10K! This is so going to kill my credit score, because now my utilization is frakking high! i went from about 60% utilization to close to 100%! those frakkin assholes! 4 years of my credit limit being increased to now being decreased? wtf? why now? cocksucking motherfuckers!
How digg can regain its mojo using DiggRank (DR)

I’ve been a digg-er since Kevin Rose was still on The Screen Savers and beginning to promote his new cool project. I’ve also been an avid reader, albeit not a power user like some people. I’ve used digg mainly as a site to get info for news and topics i would otherwise not read, but now-a-days after the redesign, i’m seeing news and articles that i could care less about. I always seem to see the same sites on the front page and even the same group of power users that have submitted the stories.
There has been much ado about the bringing back the bury button and even proposed solutions for it. But I think what Digg needs to do, and what kevin rose needs to do is redo their algorithms for deciding on what stories make it to the front page. Aside from internal algo’s that determine if a story being submitted is spam or from a group of spammers, the main factor is the number of Diggs. So I propose taking it a step further, and calculating how many different submitters have Dugg a story and who Dugg their stories. Essentially creating the Digg equivalent of Google’s beginning mojo, PageRank… I call it DiggRank. Similar to how google calculated what links were more popular and considered more relevant based on how many other pages linked to the page, Digg can use a similar method.
DiggRank would give each digger a score based on several factors, such as how many stories the user has dugg, stories submitted, stories that were submitted and dugg, as well as who diggs their stories and how often its reciprocated. The last point would take into account power users that also have power groups so they can regularly get onto the front page. This would give other users and newer users a chance to get to the front page. DiggRank would then take into account the different users that have dugg a story and determine their DiggScore taking into consideration the above. Each digg will still be shown but I propose they revisit what it actually takes to make it to the front page other than the number of diggs, speed of each digg and whatever else.
Changing the user interface would help in the short term, but what really needs work is the engine that powers Digg.
