"Drat!!", said Max while loading up his feed reader. His 28K modem heaved and hawed as it struggled to download the pages heavy with Web 2.0 inspired graphics.
"The story's been Dugg!", he said, speaking to himself for some reason.
Indeed, the story had been dugg, and over 342 times. The story, titled "Mac Hottie Priscilla Poses", was at the top of Digg for all the usual reasons. The site's introverted geeks, who loved gawking at women (those creatures that roamed in the sun they feared) and worshiping Steve Jobs, often dugg stories which did both. Although the story's title had alluded to titillating photos of Silicon Valley PR sensation Priscilla Rothschild, in actuality the story was a lot dirtier, and not in a good way.
Max had been found out, and he didn't know by whom, but some pesky blogger had posted the details of his relationship with the recently deceased Priscilla, possibly linking him to her untimely demise. Max had to think fast or risk having his plans for social media domination uncovered.
"Bury!!!". Reason: "lame".
"Thank the Spaghetti Monster I bought this top 10 Digg account off eBay", Max thought. In a few minutes the story would be off the front page as Max's team of "Digg Goons" joined in to bury the link.
"Just another day in social media", Max murmured while lighting up a Churchill, blowing waves of smoke across the servers that would assure his mastery over the new user generated medium. But Max still needed to find that blogger, or risk having his plans unraveled...
