But nevertheless what I can hardly understand is why would one actually need to game TechMeme. Is it only for links or for some actual traffic as well? I am really curious since when I see our story promoted on Digg, I know for sure we will have dozens of thousands of new visitors while TechMeme only results in a few visitors. Another question I find particularly interesting is how you get your article to be actually placed as the first article in this or that cluster. I have had cases when I knew we were the first to publish on a certain topic and we still were in the discussion. That's the only question that bothers me about Techmeme, I would not really want to go deeper and try to game the website.

Bokardo noted that even Gabe Rivera, creator of Techmeme, acknowledges that some gaming is bound to take place on any site with a ratings hierarchy, some with more transparency than others. The problem with a site like Digg is that not only does it seem to be almost designed to be gamed, but also the opposite, with bands of people who seek to bury articles.
