I used to contribute / comment on Digg until they implemented digging up and down on individual comments... the intentions behind that decision were good... promote good comments... bury abusive and off topic comments... but in the end it just became one more way for people to attack each other.
Near the end of my association with Digg someone was marking down every pro Macintosh comment in Apple centric stories... no matter what their merit... probably because they didn't like "Mac fanboys". The same thing was happening on in Wii stories as well.
It's also too easy to bury a story... something that's dugg by hundreds or thousands of people can be buried by a very small fraction of those people.
The wisdom of the crowds? Don't make me laugh. I'd rather have the wisdom of an editorial department.
