Great job on the video! You might want to shorten it a bit. My attention span is just enough for 3 minutes of guy's talking, not more (5 minutes if it is a girl) ;-)
(Goob: Trust me, I agree! This will be the last 9 minute video I upload.)

in Reddit Goes Open Source: What Does That Really Mean? on Bob Caswell
The goal for both Digg and Reddit is to produce better quality news. If opening up algorithms helps the goal then Reddit wins. The key is probably how much existing Digg users are unhappy about Digg not being transparent.
As for how non-programmers can participate, I think it is hard to do so w/o knowing how the site internally functions. There needs to be a document available that explains that in simple terms. After that I would guess you just submit a suggestion for consideration by the community.

in What If You Could Pick Your Seat When Buying a Movie Ticket? on Bob Caswell
This would probably be a good idea especially for those first day events when seats get all booked. Personally for me - I wouldn't care. I rarely go to movies. Netflix works just fine

in Microsoft Offers Cash Back to Searchers, But for How Long? on Bob Caswell
It is no doubt MS will make money with this. They have simply copied the business model from Jellyfish, a startup they acquired last year. That model (profit sharing) is profitable and used by many (eBates, Fatwallet, etc)

I am linking through to an article that tells another sad story, how Amazon shut down their affiliate program to several popular websites w/o much explaining what is going on.

in Campaign to Reduce Wikipedia’s PageRank to Zero on Marketing Pilgrim
"Well, he personally asked me to enable nofollow last year, so I’m not too surprised."
...which is the same as...
"Use the source and don't give credit back".
This is so much against the philosophy of the web, I struggle to believe Matt would have said that.
Aren't search engines work because the algorithms they use imitate the rules of the society? Or do you mean to say Wikipedia is above this "noise"?

in Campaign to Reduce Wikipedia’s PageRank to Zero on Marketing Pilgrim
As clever as it may sound in reality the campaign will do very little to Wikipedia page rank. Too many bloggers are ignorant of how search engines work.
Hopefully it will at least get the Wikipedia team thinking.
I am surprised Matt Cutts supported the move. :-(
