    Don't forget that RSSmeme isn't Google Reader only anymore. They are also Digging those stories (http://blog.rssmeme.com/2008/06/rssmeme-expands...). But it's still 1 vote per person. Also; those stats get reset every month. Tonight at midnight everyone goes back down to 0.

    Benjamin thank you, Until your comment I was not aware it's not just G Reader shares. I did not want it to come off like I was gaming the system, glad it's not perceived that way in any shape or form. This is proving to be a very interesting experiment to say the least. Regarding the reset of stats, this will reveal some interesting data about the experiment. A total number of stories shared in the room for 30 days, now I am really curious :)

    Interesting start to your experiment. People are earning 80+ points a day to make the leaderboard.. I guess that's possible for someone who has the time or is it easy to digg a lot of stories, read your daily blogs and hit 80 points before you know it? to do that on a consistent basis seems challenging...


    I look forward to reading the other conclusions you're drawing from this experiment.

    Julian, agreed and thanks for you comment. These people must live on Digg 24/7 to get those numbers. It took the power of 50 combined feeds to get # 4 on the RSSmeme board. In terms of Google Reader, I find it hard that one person can alone can rank that high with out some manipulation of sorts, unless they live, breathe and eat Google Reader 24/7.
