Well this may have been said before many times so soz. I think the diggs counter in the comment section needs to show the calculation as well as the result. For instance, fifteen ppl may have digged a comment down and fifteen ppl also digg the comment up leaving u with the original one diggs up then u get a comment that has the same one digg result but there has been no digging down. this clearly shows a lack of interest in wanting to read the comment or time has elapsed to the point where the subjects title is no longer on page one or relevant. My point in all of this, more information to help me come to my decision.

Thank you

I love SU. I’m the primary admin for 1389 Blog – Antijihadist Tech – our primary focus is promoting freedom of speech and the press for the counterterrorist community. We also track the effort to combat e-jihadists, other “hard news??? stories not adequately covered elsewhere, and some tech tips.

Believe me, it is NOT easy to start a new blog and to build traffic to it. I used to spend a lot of time on Digg – back before they changed the algos and the UI to take all the fun out of the experience – so I tried submitting articles from the blog to Digg. This blog has a lot of original, completely noncommercial material. But it went absolutely nowhere on Digg. I had to conclude that it was not worth the time and effort.

We still have a Digg button in case anybody wants to submit something, but I rarely visit there any more.

Instead, we have found that StumbleUpon is great for building traffic to our articles, for making new friends, even for locating potential blog contributors. The problems that are inherent in Digg don’t even come up in SU.

Stop by and visit me on SU – I’m 1389ad.

SU rules – Digg drools! (Sorry, but I “calls ‘em the way I sees ‘em.”)
