With all of the rumors and controversy involving “gaming” surrounding the Digg community lately, I found this particular story rather refreshing. An obvious mistake was made in this story’s title “Unlocks Your Car Using A Tennis Ball,” yet it not only reached the front page, it made it to the “Top 10″ list. Proof that the Digg community values quality content and digg the most relevant and interesting stories.

To even further shatter the common “top digger” rumor, this story wasn’t submitted by a “top digger.” The digger that submitted this story was ranked 1,396 the day it was submitted to Digg. Hardly a number that has any amount of “control or influence” (as critics like to put it) on what appears on Digg’s front page. You can read every Top 10 list on how to promote yourself in the Digg community, and correct spelling will most likely be on every list. So maybe we touched on 2 rumors here, but either way, I like the fact that this story did so well, because in my eyes, it proves that quality content rules in the Digg community. It’s easy to criticize Digg, but this story’s success was a breath of fresh air.
