With the release of the new Digg on August 25th, anybody with the ability to understand how a story, which is promoted to the popular section, is composed, has an edge in attaining viral exposure ranging from tens of thousands to millions of pageviews. Diggs users constitute a large proportion of bloggers. Thus stories promoted to their popular section, which was previously their homepage and now the Top News page, can attain anywhere from less than 10 to hundreds of links pointing to their websites. Digg also has millions of users; many of whom visit websites that reach the popular section at a rapid rate. My blog went down when I promoted my interview with Ben Huh The Most Popular SFW & NSFW Failblog Pics of the Decade to the popular section and more than 1,000 visitors loaded the page in the first few minutes after reaching the front page. </p>

Mixed economic news made for an uncertain market Tuesday, with gold hitting record highs in a classic sign of investor uncertainty. However, Apple bucked the trend, with its share price closing at $268.06, up US$1.02, after a day of volatile trading that at one time put its price at $268.33, up $1.29. This is the first time Apple exceeded the $268 mark since June 30, although it has hit the $260 mark repeatedly since an overall decline in more recent months. Could it mark the beginning of an upward climb for Apple prices once again?
