Testing the tool with 'google' as mr. gunn did get the same effect +25%, but calls it 'very good'. Looks like a bug to me...

You can post a link and a short description to just about anything technology related. You can also vote on the links that are there. Just register and click the “Digg” button to the left of any story/link you “dig”. The Digg site then looks at the number of votes over a particular period of time and puts the most popular items on the front page. Digg gets an incredible amount of technology related traffic. Getting on the front page brings down many servers every day. There is that much traffic involved." (from James D. Brausch's blog) IF DotMG is right, then maybe we should have a digg button next to each post. Another similar site is Stumbleupon. @DotMG:

The vast majority of blog posts or articles from the academic community probably does not contain the word "academic" at all. "Academic" as a keyword is more likely to occur in posts about academic jobs, academic career, and, well, academic productivity :) (which may not be of interest to the general, non-academic public) than in posts or articles on "what academics have to say" (e.g. scientific vulgarisation or the role of science in society, economy etc.).
