Quite to the contrary, there are many examples where this happens. However, there are several factors underlying this rank that are strong enough to establish the site for it's particular rank. The underscore, in my opinion, does not help the rank, but it won't necessarily hurt the rank either. It simply does not add to the strength of the overall rank. SEO factors are mostly additive. Absence of one factor does not equate to a loss in rank, but rather an unrealized opportunity to improve rank. It's not surprising that digg.com URLs can rank with underscores in the URLs. I did notice that on much of the site that the URLs actually use hyphens. This is true of their blog URLs as well. Thanks for pointing this out, as my post could use the clarification. I have to admit my writing style for this post was meant to take an extremist tone, which was meant to be humorous, but nevertheless support a serious assertion.

The challenge with such a solution is that the the information gets locked into multiple silos. With Google Wave they are trying to integrate all the conversations (discussions) but what would be truly desirable is a platform built form ground up using social networking at the base and business apps on top of it. I have tried Injoos Teamware (www.injoos.com) and found it captures both informal and formal knowledge like documents in one single workspace on the cloud.
