"How do TechCrunch stories make it to Digg's front page so often? With a little help from its friends, of course. Former TechCrunch writer Duncan Riley, now a foe of editor Michael Arrington, posted a screenshot from his inbox revealing what Riley calls "The TechCrunch Digg Club." It includes four writers from TechCrunch proper; seven from gadgets blog CrunchGear; two from TechCrunchIT, Arrington's incomprehensible enterprise-tech spinoff; plus two or three interns." - Igor The Troll via Bookmarklet
Holy crap! If that is true and diggs team knows that, I think techcrunch url maybe banned/punished. - k00pa

No, TechCrunch URL certainly won't be banned, no way, really. We have been banned once and I know it does not happen to sites like TC. - Svetlana Gladkova via twhirl
Yeah Kevin Rose is Captain Crunch boy! LOL - Igor The Troll
I wonder if Kevin will ban TechCrunch for a few days to get some hype for Digg? He definitely will get some PR out of this! LMAO - Igor The Troll

gregory: It's just that I've seen tons of places and people trying to sell diggs. But it is just so obvious that all these patterns are penalized that I am surprised anyone still bothers. - Svetlana Gladkova via twhirl

google, i don't care, it is who they give it too that could be worrisome - Gregory Lent
No, there are more important things to worry about in this world, if it's not Google then its someone else who knows, whatever - Kol Tregaskes via twhirl
No. - Steve Isaacs
A little, but not too much. - Simian DA (Amber)
Yes. - Dimitar Vesselinov
I try to spread my participation across a variety of sites so that no single organization gets too complete a picture of me. But I admit Google probably still knows more than might be desirable. - Jill O'Neill
I don't worry about Google as much as I worry about what people can find out about me on Google, if that makes sense. I don't think Google, Inc really cares about me personally to do anything with the data they have for me. But some nefarious person could put together a lot of stuff about me through Google's services. - Fitzgerald Steele
No. - Steve Isaacs
Not as much as what other companies can gain access to in court cases. Google isn't necessarily benevolent, but I don't think it's stupid enough to abuse the data it holds... - Badger Gravling

Yes. Not from anything Google will do with the data on me. It sits on servers, unable to withstand a government subpoena (assuming use of subpoenas don't go out of style). My "papers and effects" are in the cloud. - Rick Wolff

""There's no money to be made Digging up stories, hitting the StumbleUpon button or refreshing FriendFeed or Twitter, after all." True, but there is a boat load of money in using these sites to drive traffic and attention to a business. That is the ability a social media expert should have, above merely being a user." - John Wesley

"It's too bad you don't own you own name on Google or the juice associated, but it makes sense not to leave. Building an online brand takes a lot of effort and you've done a great job with your blog. You bring a lot humanity and intelligence to the VC world. All the same, if you were starting today what domain would you use?" - John Wesley
