What is Digg in the Future?

Digg in the Future predicts future frontpage stories on Digg with high accuracy.

Digg is a popular social news website that gets millions of unique views per month. Digg users submit and "digg" links, and links with the most "diggs" appear on the homepage. Digg does not publicly release its algorithm for determining frontpage stories, but does concede that several factors are considered, including the number and diversity of Diggs, buries, the time the story was submitted and the topic.

Because Digg has to wait on user feedback to promote links, sometimes news reaches Digg much later than it does mainstream outlets. Digg in the Future attempts to get a hold of stories before they are popular, in a way predicting the future. Not every story that appears on Digg in the Future will appear on Digg's homepage; nevertheless, Digg in the Future will give you a realistic glimpse of Digg's frontpage tomorrow.
