In the real world, though, it seems like cliques and system-gamers tend to take over and dominate the process.

An avalanche of training wheel level advice posted by people who were months in the business was getting voted to the top. Most naive were the embarrassing abundance of "TOP TEN LIST" posts. The TOP TEN LIST technique is an ancient and hackneyed SEO technique developed to game digg users and here were these clueless newbs throwing it back at the very SEO community that invented it. It was like 2 girls, 1 cup.

Danny Sullivan made the right choice in killing this. I'm looking forward to a revitalized Sphinn.
