The Drill Down 159 – Grave Diggers
This week, the Drill Down Crew welcome Bracken MacLeod, moderator of Reddit’s Zombies subreddit, as we discuss– what else, zombies, including Sears’ ghoulish zombie-themed site. Later we welcome Digg user Lt. Gen. Panda, as he discusses research into Digg’s API that uncovered an army of Digg-created accounts used to test (and allegedly inflate story counts). We also discuss Digg laying off 37% of their staff, WikiLeaks releases 390, 000 reports documenting Iraq War actions, a flaw in Facebook outs gay users to advertisers, networks block content to GoogleTV, and Playstation releases a phone!
