Kevin Rose is More Powerful Than Math
We all know that Kevin Rose has a lot of clout in the social media world because of his socially driven news and media site Digg. But did you know that the founder of Digg transcends math? Well, he does.
CK Chung points out that while Kevin submitted a total of 255 stories to the house that he built, and 257 of them were made popular, his popular ratio, 257:255 is 101%:
Of course it would be easy to attribute this to an error on Digg's end, but my personal feeling is that this is it's an inside job.

When I first saw the title, I thought it said 'Kevin Rose is More Powerful Than Meth'. I'm glad it's not a blog post comparing Kevin Rose to drugs, although that could be interesting. Is digg a drug, hmm....
