Once a story leaves the upcoming section it will never reach the hompage no matter how many Diggs it gets. Also, stories can be removed if enough users bury it, so even if you get 300 people to digg your story if Digg users smell something fishy they will bury it.

(Though I still have yet to integrate the feature into my blogs) One of the first articles I wanted to digg myself was from my blog <a href="http://www.tweetsweet.com/blog" rel="nofollow">Tweet Sweet</a> about chocolate. But do you think I could find a place to put anything related to food? Nope. And how about digging posts relating to Graphic Design, Branding, or even Art in general? (Stuff I blog about on my main blog) What about Real Estate or Home Improvement? Where do those go? It seems that digg's categories are catered toward the web geek or sports junkie, and not for a general Internet audience. (Technology and Sports have the most sub-categories) It would be nice to see a few more sub-categories incorporated into the site, I think they're especially missing categories in the non-science and non-techie areas.

I wrote an article that made it to the top page of Reddit.com but I only recieved about 30 Diggs so I see where your coming from. Digg is no longer about the little guy. It's becomeing more of a corporate sales pitch that a bloggers dream. Yeah I agree that Digg isn’t quite what it used to be.

It's a shame that Digg has because such a target for manipulation, but I guess that's the price you pay for being as popular as Digg. Interesting article.
