Digg Destroyed By a Number
It’s been a while since the whole HD DVD key disaster, but this was the first I saw a nice blog post about it at Digerati.
If you missed out, someone got the decryption key for HD DVDs, put it online, and that article made it onto Digg’s front page. Once that happened, Digg got a call ordering them to take it down… and they did. But it was too late. Everyone had the key and kept digging stories that had the key until Digg shut down their submit page!
The funny part is what stories were making it onto the front page. One was “Can You Find the Hidden Message in This Optical Illusion?” with the hidden message being the HD-DVD key! 
Some people were quite creative, and at least a couple were captured in the screenshot at the Digerati post.
