As I am sure you know, a lot of times, the same story will be dugg up
to the front page multiple times. This happens because the person who
is submitting the URL to digg is submitting a different post about the
same story. They are they same story and usually if you follow both
posts all the way through they eventually end up at the same post.
If you allowed users to submit additional URLs to a story posted to
digg, then when someone new came along and tried to digg a story that
has already been dugg, it will be more difficult for that story to go
through as a unique story.
The 'duplicate story' bury could also be expanded to accept a digg
post that this is a duplicate of. At some threshold, similar to the
inaccurate threshold, there could be a message displayed saying: 'This
story may be a duplicate of this other dugg story. Maybe you should
digg the original instead of this.'
Okay, well those are some ideas I have had. You guys have probably
thought of them already, but if not, I figured I would just send my
suggestions. Keep up the great work!
