Digg can be a powerful tool if used correctly. It can send a site’s traffic into the stars and others be banned in a matter of weeks. The influence that is has in social media has become a stand-out and caused other sites to mimic its success.
However, after being fairly active in Digg I found that after awhile getting your own personal stories ‘dugg’ is harder than you think. I would digg stories I truly liked – I would have similar topic and ’shout’ it to my ‘friends’ and get 5-10 diggs. Then…nothing.
Scrolling through my rss reader I saw a GREAT title that truly needs mentioned: The 7 Most Hated and Loved Sources for Digg.
It is pretty much spot-on. I would add a few more in-depth ‘reasons’ but I digress. When a cartoon (no matter how amusing it might be) makes the front page but one about the recent war in the middle east gets 5 diggs I can’t deal with it. Then there is your personal community, as I mentioned before. Constantly ’shouting’ to you for diggs on their stories but fail to digg yours or the ones you recommend.
So, the question is – have you found Digg a good resource?
