I just learned about an effort to get the SIAI $400,000 Matching Challenge
covered on Digg's front-page.

See: http://digg.com/general_sciences/SIAI_seeks_funding_for_AI_research

According to an unofficial FAQ about the Digg algorithm, news items in the
Science category must receive 70-85 Diggs within the initial 24 hours to
make it to the front-page. As of now, we have less than five hours to secure
enough votes. We need 55. It takes about 15 seconds to join Digg to digg the
item.

If you want to help us out, please take a few seconds to digg the above URL.
Posting a positive comment will also improve the odds.

Hundreds of individuals on these lists value SIAI, many of whom are close
friends, so the number of diggs will necessarily increase if everyone avoids
the bystander effect. Nick, Max, Natasha, James, Reason, Spike, and everyone
else who supports the Institute: please take a few seconds to digg the item.

Thanks everyone,
Tyler
