Apparently the Digg "algorithm", back when it worked, was one human being?
I've seen a few lists of "do things that don't scale" success stories, because VCs and founders love to bandy about survivorship bias success stories, but I'd be much more interested in a collection that included both successes and failures so that you could at least attempt to figure out what differentiated the successes and the failures.
