2 hidden ways to get more from your Gmail address was not so interesting story for digg algo. Agreed the story had nothing unique and would not add anything of substance to the frontpage. The story was campaigned agressivelyand received 74 diggs and only 4 of them were from non friends. http://www.ajaxonomy.com/buryrecorder/ did not record any buries for the story.
But before concluding anything, it is a bit confusing whether these stories are automatically buried by the digg algo or someone manually buries these stories?
It would be simple for an algorithm to determine that the story is being promoted by mutual friends and thus buried but difficult to determine if the story is a duplicate since it cannot determine the perspective with which a story has been written. On the other hand a manual "bury brigade" working for digg either paid or voluntary can easily determine both.
