The Ironic thing about Steve Rubel's 'Google Book Search Hack', which he jokingly said he was posting because he was in the mood to 'get Digged' - and was, is that it contains all the right keywords to attract 'Diggs', but no actual information.

Steve's post is basically a description of how to type words into a search engine.

So the irony is this - by posting a description about how to do something 'technical' that isn't and using words like 'O'Reilly, hacks, Digg, Google', you can become one of the top links on a techy links site.

This may seem trivial - but I think it is a good example of why the Digg voting system does not really work in its current form, unless the algorithm for vote weighting is much more sophisticated.
