It seems to me that the individuals who are afraid of the report don't understand the vastness of the web. There is so much noise on the internet that those who receive the report will be a small, small minority--truly a pebble lost in a tidal wave of users. And if you take the amount of readers who actually incorporate the information you now have a tiny grain of sand in the tidal wave. Release the report and let the grain of sand swim! =) The nature of the web teaches us that this information is going to surface somewhere, so why not here.

Something like top 100 users control over 60% of digg ? I really don't think that they are all getting money or other services for their "diggs", but I'm certain that some of them do. If there is money involved, you'll certainly see some people profit from it. In my opinion, you should publish your article as I'm sure it won't surprise a lot of persons.

I truly thought the process was organic. I still use these services and I am not paid to vote but will absolutely respond when someone tweets a request. However, in addition to SEO companies offering clients this service, a quick visit to Elance on any given day reveals that paying for posting comments to blogs, forums or social bookmarking is not only a common practice but apparently the standard. I look forward to your article. Admittedly, I was once naive about social bookmarking. I truly thought the process was organic.
