For a bit more context behind what we've done here, we also have a blog post at http://about.digg.com/blog/sifting-for-diamonds-with-the-dig... .

I know a few of us read HN as well, and would be glad to answer any questions on the Newswire product or implementation (in brief: Redis).

All due respect, I couldn't gather from http://digg.com/newswire what exactly Newswire is / does / is different from. You can't rely on a blog post to explain a site feature.
