My buddies over at Bauer-Power got on Diggnation!

My e-friends over at Bauer-Power, specifically Sundance and Paul Bauer, got a story to be discussed on Diggnation. Pretty impressive, it is a show that gets hundreds of thousands of viewers. Specifically, Sundance submitted "OMG Did Google Earth find Atlantis?" which to date has received over 6000 diggs. You can check the video out here.

Unfortunately, both the Bauer-Power guys and myself have more or less given up on Digg, as the algorithm is completely loaded against sites like Bauer-Power and Bud Boy Tech, sites that have never been on the frontpage before. We have both had stories with 300+ diggs that didn't even get promoted in their categories, but saw stories with 120 or so get promoted even though they were receiving way fewer diggs on an hour by hour basis. This is why Digg is very stale, and why Digg is essentially an advertisement for Gizmodo :(


Anyways, just thought I'd give my own little shout out and say congrats, not many people have a story that gets that many diggs!
