  1. Well, too bad for Zaibatsu. Personnaly, I’ve already been banned from Digg in the past, and even if you don’t have 3 billions of diggs like Zaibatsu has, it’s still frustrating. Particularly when nobody answer your email and tell you why you’ve been banned. But that redirect “honey pot” is certainly frustrating too! ;) Good luck Zaibatsu!

    And for the script, what if I write my own script that get the same info as “Digg Boss’ script”… will I get banned too? What kind of api call will get me a ban? That’s just a nonsense IMO. Too much resources… yea right.

  2. I think it’s ridiculous that Zaibatsu got banned for that. I hope it works out for the best. Always enjoy the show guys, keep up the good work.

  4. So JR what will it be? Mixx or have you looked at Nudgeville? Mixx’s level of spam is a little much for me. I personally love Sphinn but then I am an SEO guy. Let us know where you land, many will follow.
