Answers to your questions: all words from the following list were found in at least 30 story titles on digg.com; there are no words that were used in only a few story titles, there are only words that were used in at least 30 article titles; there are words like "a", "the", "those", and we will not remove them in order to keep the research clean; numbers in the right column are "diggs per story": if a word were used in 100 story titles with 100000 diggs total, its "diggs per story" will be 100000/100=1000; all words are in the lowercase - this way it's easier to build statistics, however we can change letter cases on request (like we did with iPod); Here is an experiment (more funny, than real): Nano-mario wants his amazing RIAA photos! got: 7 diggs in 10 minutes; 10 diggs in 20 minutes; 15 diggs in 30 minutes; 21 diggs in 40 minutes; 30 diggs in 50 minutes; 58 diggs in 1 hour; This story is on the front page of digg.com now! 157 diggs in 1 hour and 10 minutes; 208 diggs in 1 hour and 20 minutes; 260 diggs in 1 hour and 30 minutes; 300 diggs in 1 hour and 40 minutes; Removed from the front page because its title doesn't match its content; 330 diggs in 1 hour and 50 minutes; 350 diggs in 2 hours; 400 diggs in 2 hours and 10 minutes; 440 diggs in 2 hours and 20 minutes; 470 diggs in 2 hours and 30 minutes; Hit 500 in 2 hours and 37 minutes! 509 diggs in 2 hours and 40 minutes; 533 diggs in 2 hours and 50 minutes; 553 diggs in 3 hours; 570 diggs in 3 hours and 20 minutes; 590 diggs in 3 hours and 30 minutes; 610 diggs in 3 hours and 40 minutes; 620 diggs in 3 hours and 50 minutes; 640 diggs in 4 hours and 20 minutes; 664 diggs in 4 hours and 40 minutes; 678 diggs in 5 hours; 685 diggs in 5 hours and 10 minutes; 700 diggs in 5 hours and 30 minutes; 707 diggs in 5 hours and 50 minutes; 718 diggs in 6 hours and 10 minutes; 765 diggs in 10 hours; 771 diggs in 10 hours and 30 minutes; It's not us who posted it - somebody else decided to start an experiment. We have already stopped to track stats and this page will no longer be updated. It seems to us that every 5th new story on digg.com uses these words now. People, please don't write crazy titles! It's humans who will read them, not robots. Digg.com moderators, sorry and thank you for your hard work.
