The story was submitted at 7:51 PM Feb 7, 2007 by cbeerach
After getting only 39 Diggs, it made to the Front Page at 10:50 AM Feb 8, 2007
While at Front Page, it got raised to 67 diggs less than 5 minutes.
At 10:55 Am Feb 8, 2007 it was BURIED!
If you check the story, it will still say ‘made popular…”
So how did this story make it to the FP? I’ll list the current algorithm in my next post. It works for most stories i have checked now.
