Whether or not a digg is from a friend is factored in, as well as when your friends digg. I'm also getting the impression that it's factoring in what page it's being dugg from (the sidebar of upcoming, the upcoming main section, the upcoming of that category, etc) and factoring that in. I don't think they're lowering their standards. There is no magic number of diggs a site has to hit before being promoted. Quality of diggs factors in just as much as quantity until it hits the front page. Much like the Google algorithm, the Digg algorithm is a lot more complex than people think it is.

The only way out is to lower standards. I think they don’t have enough momentum with the recent departure of top users and all the ways they abuse their most passionate supporters.
