It depends on the number of diggs on a given timescale, weighted by your own friends (if only your friends have dugg the story, I would imagine it will not make the homepage).
Anything over 50 genuine diggs stands a good chance.
The "window" is 24 hours.

something like it. You should bear in mind that you stand bigger chances if your friends engage powers and vote for your story cause you need like 50 diggs as the above post says in order to join the big guys. It's way easier to do it when you have loyal friends beside you.

Apart from the already mentioned ways of making a story popular we have to mention the dark side of doing it as well. I have seen popular front page articles and news that read so dumb and stupid stories that it makes me wonder how they've made it to the top. I recently found an article written by a blogger who admits that he paid to get his story on the front page. Every time I read a story I wonder whether it is fake or not. What do you think about that guys?
