Herding the Mob

I ran across this story about "crowdhacking" - ways in which people try to game systems like eBay, Digg, and de.lico.us to promote stories, or gain higher feedback ratings. According to the article, these systems are all susceptible to manipulation, which has implications to the Hub once these tactics become more widespread. We should definitely keep an eye on this trend.
