Comments on: Confessions and Reflections of a [Former] Digg Addict http://www.techipedia.com/2008/confessions-of-a-digg-addict/ tamar weinberg is a social media consultant and tech geek at heart Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:16:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Fadi http://www.techipedia.com/2008/confessions-of-a-digg-addict/#comment-63654 Fadi Thu, 19 Mar 2009 10:55:46 +0000 http://www.techipedia.com/?p=220#comment-63654 Thanks Tamar for the wonderful insight. I have just started using Digg and have been searching for the best strategy to get my articles dugg. I felt that it is kind of *unfair* for anyone, even for the top diggers, to have more say in which articles should become more popular. I can understand that you have put much energy to get there, and I do acknowledge that you deserve some credit for that, but I am kind of bend towards equal level play - if that possible -. The quality of the article should have the highest weight in the equation. I am not sure how much of a trust one can put in the top diggers to dig those posts. I am off to read more on your site. Seems like very interesting material to me :) Thanks Tamar for the wonderful insight. I have just started using Digg and have been searching for the best strategy to get my articles dugg.

Sadly, there's nothing good about Digg nowadays but true gaming. I wonder why people still go there.

I know. This isn't a problem so easily solved. But I'm not bashing. I promise. :) “However, if you have ever payed attention to SEO / Spam scraper programs or any other automated content grabbers etc. all this information can be assimilated without an API or publicly available stats.”
