My definition of Web 2.0 is: “Distributed technologies built to integrate, that collectively transform mass participation into valuable emergent outcomes.” – the key is in the mechanisms that transform that mass participation into something useful (such as user filtered content).

So if I self-select a widget or series of widgets to use on my blog, would that be a form of “user filtered content” or is it based on the audience selection rather than the individual user?

If these are Digg’s moderators whose activities are not transparent then it’s not UFC, which is about mechanisms to enable all participants to collectively filter. This doesn’t have to be entirely democratic in the sense of one vote per user – on Slashdot some people through their contribution have more sway.
Of course there’s nothing sacrosanct about UFC – there’s nothing wrong with filtering in other ways if it gives useful outcomes. But if you’re pretending it’s pure UFC and it’s not, that’s a different matter…

I guess the question then is (if the reports of moderators are true), does the use of moderators help filter UFC or does it completely contradict the idea of it?
