Page 3 of 3 If they do not, then only a small number of matching Diggs will be enough to earn that status. However, to ensure diversity in the results the Recommendation Engine also imposes certain Digger Like You limitations. Kast explains these as attempting to reflect the spectrum of topics that you have Dugg in the past yourself, adjusting a compatibility cut off to prevent either too many or too few stories getting through. It creates a balance by limiting the total pool of users from any single Digg for good measure. There are also other factors to take into consideration, such as the stories that you have already Dugg or buried yourself as these must be deducted from the recommended stories that the Diggers Like You have already Dugg. A video overview of the Recommendation Engine by none other than Kevin Rose can be found on Digg. Please enable JavaScript in your browser to post your comment!
