Richard MacManus has published some striking statistics about Digg, supplied to him by the site Diggtrends. The data reveal that of Digg's 445,000 registered users, only 2,287 contributed any stories to the site during the last six weeks. But here are the real eye-openers: The top 100 users contributed fully 55% of the stories that appeared on the site's front page, and the top 10 users - yep, you can count 'em on your own two hands - contributed a whopping 30% of the front page stories. Peer production? I think a better term for it would be peerage production.
It appears that Digg does have editors, they are just unpaid. Which leads me to believe that Jason Calacanis is crazy like a fox.
