The Top 100 Words on Digg

As I mentioned in an earlier post (Stories with Longer Titles get More Diggs), I used the Digg API to download titles and # of Diggs for over 230,000 stories. In this post, I continue my analysis of this data with a list of the top 100 words on Digg. To make this list, I first made a list of every word that occured at least 25 times in all 233,570 story headlines. Then I sorted list by the average number of Diggs recieved by a story with a title containing a particular word. The result is a list of words that appear in the titles of stories that got large numbers of Diggs. Without further ado, here is the list:
