Top or Not to Top

[Jerry James Stone]

Okay, I am trying to figure out the difference between the website and the API. For example, I often see stories that are both in Upcoming and in Top News but right now I have this weirdo. It is in Upcoming still but the API says it is in Top: http://digg.com/news/science/sea_slug_steals_genes_from_algae_becomes_solar_powered

The API shows this: top (since 2010-11-24 03:06:11)

This one (http://digg.com/news/science/500th_alien_planet_discovered_with_hundreds_more_to_come) shows up in both Upcoming and Top but the API says top (since 2010-11-24 04:04:38).

The tool I have tracking this is letting publishers know if something was promoted but this makes it hard to give them a straight answer.

This is because we are in the middle of a switch in algorithms. This
will be remedied on the API this week.

Scott's above-mentioned fix was just deployed, so the results should
start to looking consistent over the next hour.
